Hi Andy,

my SmirfMateBeta9 uses following to show positions (using atty):

   +-*--b--c--d--*--f--g--*-+
 8 |[r][n][b][q][k][b][n][r]|
 7 |[p][p][p][p][p][p][p][p]|
 6 |   :::   :::   :::   :::|
 5 |:::   :::   :::   :::   |
 4 |   :::   :::   :::   :::|
 3 |:::   :::   :::   :::   |
 2 |<P><P><P><P><P><P><P><P>|
 1 |<R><N><B><Q><K><B><N><R>|
 =>+-*--b--c--d--*--f--g--*-+

Remarks:

a) with "*"  is shown, where castling potential resides (FRC specific)
b) with "=>" is shown, which side has to move

Regards, Reinhard.
