So it is helpful to post the source of gnuchess to this newsgroup, when it has been changed, bugfixed or rewritten :-). The compressed tar file of the current version is 362,289 bytes, and would be huge to carry in a newsgroup/mailing list that's primarily a discussion forum. gnuchess was posted to comp.sources.games (v04i037) on 11 Jun 88 as <2627@tekred.TEK.COM> by John Stanback . Perhaps Mr Cracraft has plans for another posting of the current version? Alternatively, several sites on your side of the pond have Internet access, and I have mailed tapes to others, who said that they intended to arrange an anonymous-UUCP or Euro-BITnet redistribution point. Check around at major European archive sites; perhaps someone already has it and can send it along to you or make it available for you to pick up yourself.
