Gnuchess version 4 had an executable named "gnuchessx", where the "x" was for "xboard", I believe. This distinguished the winboard or xboard compatible version from other versions. See "man gnuchess" on your favorite UNIX box. I also called my Winboard executable arasanx to distinguish it from the native Windows GUI version. --Jon
