Tom, for some "initial reason" each file have as extensions three ASCII
invisible characters. It was at that time to prevent reading of some accidental
file that will screw the game. I expect to change this for free readable
extension in the future. It will come when I will start rewriting entire game
for Linux or Windows. Then I expect to write so many things that was postponed
and neglected as secondary.

To delete the file from DOS write: del name.*
To copy file from DOS write: copy name.*  ...

name - name of your chess file.

Leonid.
