Could someone give me a hint on how to compile gnuchess?  Things I've tried:

sh Makefile : comes back with several errors, like "(" unexpected
csh Makefile : even more errors
There's no Korn shell on this Unix.

Then, I tried "gcc gnuchess.c uxdsp.c" : gnuchess.c seemed to compile ok, 
  there were a few warnings about functions too large, but uxdsp.c had many
  compiler errors complaining about undefined variables.  Some of them
  as I remember were things like "tty" undefined, "wscan" undefined, etc.  It
  seems like some I/O function library needed to be added.

This was all on a demo Unix account - BSD Unix.  I don't have that much
experience with Unix, so I may be missing something obvious.

Try "make gnuchess". Make is a program which looks in current directory
for a file named Makefile or makefile. It reads this file to determine
what to do to make what you specified as the second parameter - your "goal".
