In regards to a previous question of mine regarding pawn promotion...

Well, there IS a way to do it, h7h8q, thanks to all who emailed me.
Now I can feel good about winning again.

Some kind person recently posted the source to comp.sources.misc.
However, the compiler used in the Makefile is gcc.  Gcc?  I'm a
UN*X System 5 person who has no idea about gcc.  When I try other
compilers available to me, I get many, many error messages.  Sigh.
Looks like it's gonna be a long summer.

Yes, I had the same problem on my Sun.  I gather that Gnuchess is now
ansi compliant and that is the reason for all error messages.  So I 
FTP'ed GCC 1.39 (Gnu C Compiler - nearly 3 megs compressed) and all is 
well now.  

A tip of the hat to the person who posted the fix so gnuchess will run 
under chesstool.

Looks like your C compiler does not handle the new ANSI standard (a lot of
packaged compilers don't, since the standard is fairly new by industry
standards). If you cannot get a version of gcc to run on your system, there
are tools out there in the great void that de-ANSIfy code.

I compiled gnuchess in Apollo and it did compile ok.
It's just that it doesn't work properly. It can't take input properly.
It discards all my input, and so it's rather unusable...:(
Gnuchess without termcaps/terminfo screens (gnuchess.chesstool) and
Xchess works fine.
