I noticed this with Tristram.  With Winboard 3.6 I could just
go to the winboard directory and set a path.  With 4.0.0,
Tristram can't find its book file.  A couple of other things
seemed to break with Tristram, too.  I've patched things
up (3.37 will be posted to my site within a couple of days),
with the exception of the book file.  The only fix I can think
of on my end is to code into Tristram the directory the
book file is in, and allow the user to set it, but seems
like something is broken in Winboard.

Hopefully Tim is reading this.... can you shed some light on
this?
