Heiner,

Thanks for the hint.  I did a search of xboard and it was an available package
also on CD 4.  I installed it and now have both crafty and gnuchess running
under it.  The board size for the Xcrafty menu item was too big so I created
another menu item that uses the Medium board.

Regards,

Steve
