Hello Leonid,

I´ve used LLchess on my Acer notebook (with Celeron/400) under both DOS
and Windows 98 - with the same result:
absolutely no reaction to any other key (only "N" works) to this message
"Quit (Y/N)?".

I really can´t believe that it has anything to do with processor or operating
system - I´m rather sure you´ve simply forgotten to scan for the key "Y"
in this version? ;-)

Maybe you can check this on your system with exactly the version that is
available at your download page.
Until you find the problem I´ve to ´kill´ your program within Windows (or
under DOS with a small utility that I´ve written by myself) -
but maybe your LLchess doesn´t ´like´ this method very much. ;-)

I hope you´ll find a solution,
best wishes,
Franz.
