Galahad 1.0 is available from http://members.xoom.com/jswaff/galahad.
A few notes:

1. win32 program
2. doesn't include the console engine that plays on ICC
3. the GUI engine isn't very strong, doesn't have any books,
   hashing, tb's, etc.  basically just a working C++/MFC
   engine with a GUI.
4. you can't interface to another program or ICC (server
   code will be in 2.0)
5. source code and VC 6 project files included
6. I mentioned this in the help file and the about box: the
   evaluator is a bitmap translation of Kerrigan's TSCP 1.3.
   The eval terms (except piece/square tables) can be modified
   via menu options before a game.  (King safety terms and
   other terms are separated)
7. Most of my beta testers missed this: you can add or remove
   pieces from the board (before a game) by right clicking on
   a square and selecting the appropriate entry from the pop
   up menu.  Other aspects of the position (player on move,
   castling, ep, etc) can be modified via menu entries.

I think that's it.
Thanks. :-)
