Unfortunatly it would take someone with more knowhow than I have to compile it. It's makefile is set up for Borland, and my makefile knowlage is sorely lacking (along with the rest of my programming abilities) so I wasn't able to compile it with DJGPP. When I get my harddrive all set up next week, I'll addopt the Cygnus compiler for the Windows 95 side of the computer, so if I'd figure out how to use GNUchess with Winboard, I'd be able to compile for it, but makefiles just don't make any sense to me, so I'd be lost. It would be nice to borrow some code from SCP to give it an opening book too, probably not a big project. It's a stronger Chess player than I am as it is now. Pete
