Fixes/changes since 1.01
1) Added help system
2) Added modifications to bring chess engine upto GNU Chess 3.2
release notes:
1) I have only tested this under windows 3.0 386 enhanced mode.
Seems to work ok in real mode though slower.
2) It requires at least 282k of memory.
3) Fits on a EGA screen, no scrolling implemented.
4) Most of the GNUCHESS commands are implemented.
5) When computer is playing itself abort by clicking on any square.
The last move made will most likely show "draw" or "mate", ignore
this message. You may have to remove the last move.
6) The file gnuchess.boo and chess.hlp must be in the same directory
as the executable.
7) The program create a file "chess.ini" in your windows directory to
store various settings. Currently only the screen colors are saved.
Enjoy.
