It was actually my first Chess program.  Got it off a CD full of Freeware and
Shareware.  I was trying to fing a copy of the QBasic game Gorrilla, but it
wasn't there.

Unfortunatly, this version of Owlchess does not have an opening book, but the
original did.  I hope soemone fixes that.  It does have the ability to maximize
though, and the old version couldn't do that, so that's cool.
