Yes, of course you can link to it. Via frames (or iframes) it should not be too
difficult. If you want to create a 'link' without frames you need to do a little
bit programming on your end. I have created some 'include' pages (I use
readfile()) to get a foreign web-page into an existing page without frames so I
could dig out some samples for it.
If we are online together on f.ex. ICC (my handle is oddg) I could assist you
when you try the first time.

To create an installationpackage for unexperient users to install on their
server (or even to release it for this purpose) would generate a lot more work
on this than the few hours I have spent. As always the hard part is the
documentation and get to run smoothly in slightly different enviroment.

I have 'tons' of utilities that never have leaved my hard-drive just because I
don't have time to write the help/description text. Especially the gui for my
engine that I realy want to put up somewhere, but as it is it would generate
e-mail-flom to my account.

For the table/list you can do the graphical as it is. Just create your own
stylesheet and add it to the link with
.../pgntable.php?....&css=http://yoursite/style.css
As a sample you can look at: http://www.chesslib.no/norbase.htm where Arild
Fredriksen have included the hole database (NorBase) into his site.
If you was thinking of the gameviewer it sure could need some nicer pieces, or
maybe a choice for pieces in the link, I will look into it.

Hmm... isn't there already much better chess-servers out there than anything on
a web-based server could manage.
