Great to see there's another engine we Mac-types can run! Thanks Dan!! :)

I could successfully build EXchess under MacOSX by adding an include statement
for unistd.h at line 18.

Build line was: c++ -o EXchess exchess.cc -O2 -pipe

EXchess couldn't use the opening book I gave it (main_bk.dat). I assume the
reason is big/little endianess. I will try to build an opening book out of a
.pgn file later though. (any suggestions what pgn to use - I don't need a 7gb
opening book, just a lil/medium one would do :)

Also it seems that main_bk.dat is twice in the zip file. At least unzip asked me
to rename the 2nd one and the "diff file1 file2" didn't find any differences.
