I explicitly set my PATH environment variable to point to the Comet executable directory and xboard works like a champ, i.e. "xboard -fcp cometxb -fd /usr/local/chess/cometB46" (I had previously renamed the Comet executable and directory to remove the "-" thinking that may have had something to do with it.) Sorry for the confusion I may have generated but I can give it a whirl now. Steve
