You're right; I mis-remembered.  I did recall the placement of the "Beyond"
correctly as BSB was modified version of the Beyond routine.

From my CDC programming days, my recollection is that external symbols were
limited to seven characters in length, so it's not clear how the BSB symbol was
represented in CDC Compass.  Maybe it was not an external?  Local identifiers
had a longer limit (like forty characters)?  I never saw the Chess 4.x Compass
source, only the Fortran for Chess 3.x.
