I downloaded the zip file from Frank's site and unzipped it in a directory
called /usr/local/chess/Comet-B46.  The executable file from the zip is
COMET-XB.  I then tried to run it with xboard using "xboard -fcp COMET-XB -fd
/usr/local/chess/Comet-B46" and got the xboard error "Failed to start first
chess program COMET-XB..."  When I run COMET-XB standalone, it starts but I have
no idea what the commands to play a game are.
