It doesn't terminate prematurely anyway. >(I added this feature setting to the Linux version of Arasan also). That warning is sent when the interface rejects one of Sjengs feature commands. The latest XBoard/WinBoard has a goof where it always rejects 'feature pause', and hence Sjeng complains. I talked to Tim about this and he agreed that even though Win/XBoard never uses 'pause', that is not a reason for rejecting it. >I had to hack the Sjeng source a little more so that Sjeng can find >its opening book (I couldn't find any option to select where it >was located, and when operating in 2-machine mode, the "sd" option >to xboard is ineffective). So Sjeng works now. Perhaps I will add an option in the next release to allow specifiying a book dir. -- GCP
