Great info, thanks!

And great speculation about bringing the MChess engine into the modern GUI
environment -- that would be wonderful.  It would probably take several hundred
person-hours.  Somebody would probably have to do it for free or for very low
pay, but I'm sure it can be done (if Marty is willing to provide the necessary
source code, under NDA I'm sure).
