A friend has finally gotten the C code of gnuchess compiled for a PC. One 
question:  in the files distributed, there is one called gnuchess.book, which
I suspect the program wants to consult while running.  But of course on an 
MSDOS machine this gets cut down to gnuchess.boo since file extensions can
have a maximum of 3 characters.  Will the program recognize this file as the 
correct one, or does it have to be renamed to something else?

Yes, the program will recognise this file even if is says gnuchess.book in the
sources.
And consequently, No it wont have to be renamed.
