This is the README for the original source from which this Atari ST specific
version was produced...

---
This is version 3.1 of GNU Chess, It is an official release.

NEW FEATURES (compared to 3.00)

   * This is an ANSI/C version tested with gcc and MSC5.1 to use
     a non ANSI compiler you must use unprotoize first.

   * Only capital names on pieces PNBRQK in ECO/Informator move entry
     allowed beacuse of ambiguity with algebraic notation. This really
     requires to be fixed properly.

   * All display modes now work on MSDOS. (i.e uxdsp.c nuxdsp.c)

   * Some changes to the new persistent(stored on a file) hash table.
     (i.e it is only used in the opening positions)

   * Lots of cleanup to adjust unnesseary differences between the
     different *dsp.c files.


If you use the persistent tranposition table, please report
your experience. Did it effect gnuchess performance?
(For 3.00 it did!, It was a real performance pig, I hope these
 changes have fixed that)
