I've found several bugs in version 3.1 of GNU Chess (using SunView).  As
litwin@sandstorm.Berkeley.EDU suggested, I fixed one bug:

Comment out the offending statement in the file nondsp.c (lines 455-456):
if (flag.beep)
 printz ("%c", 7)

However several times gnu chess has incorrectly moved a piece, once a bishop
from a white square to a black square, once a pawn diagonally without
capturing "en passant", etc.

Also gnu chess refused to let me promote a pawn to anything--claimed "Illegal
move"--a nice strategy for not losing a game!

Can anyone supply me with a lsit of known bugs & fixes for version
3.1, especially ones relating to the SunView chesstool interface?
I'll post the bugs & corrections that I receive.
