I tried using Winboard to run my GNU C compiled chess program
thinking it would be an easy proof of whether I could go to the next
step. The problem was that Winboard wouldn't even run a GNU C
program!

Then I asked Bob Hyatt and he said something along the lines
that I'd have to recompile my program to run with the Microsoft
Visual C/C++ compiler that Winboard expects, which I really
don't want to do.

Hence the post. My believe is that Winboard and GNU C compiled
programs don't grok each other on Windows 95. Xboard and GNU
C on Unix of course are fine, but I don't see that on the PC.

Thanks,
Stuart
