Someone earlier suggested that those of us working on various programs report it to the net so that their won't be duplication of effort, or (maybe?) to encourage cooperation among the developers. Well, I am working (actually I have it running) on a version of GNUCHESS for the ATARI ST. GNUCHESS is a chess program developed by the people at the Free Software Foundation in Cambridge, MA. These are the same people who brought you GNUEMACS, GCC, G++, GDB, ... all for UNIX type systems. I am fixing up the user interface a little, it will still be in curses style, NOT GEM yet. I can only test it in medium resolution on a 1 MEG ST with no new roms. I am also adding some documentation to help a user get started. I have yet to beat the program, but I haven't played CHESS in years and am very rusty, and I wasn't that good to begin with. Should I post this to binaries? (The sources are several hundreds of kilobytes which I think is a bit excessive for the net.) I have also ported FLEX which is a public domain version of the UNIX (TM) program LEX to the ST. Is there interest in this as well? Responses are welcome, directly to me or to the net if you think it is appropriate. Regards, George Dinolt dinolt@ford-wdl1.arpa, ...!sgi!wdl1!dinolt

Yes, please post the sources (& binaries) of FLEX to the approppriate ST newsgroups! Daan Josephus Jitta ( daanjj@neabbs )
