NEW FEATURES (compared to 2.00)

   * ECO/Informator move entry syntax.

   * MSDOS ANSI display mode (uxdsp.c).

   * smaller data structures for MSDOS.

   * retained hash table between moves.

   * Improved Xchess behavior under X11/R4 and GCC.

Ways the program could be improved:

  1) Regression testing of strength against a bank
     of positions. The regression should compare 
     performance between two releases, assess 
     solution times, speed in nodes per second,
     accuracy of evaluation, and depth and then
     produce a comparison table, along with a final
     assessment of which version is superior.

  2) Complete rework of the book, eliminating all
     illegal moves, providing a score for each
     variation with support code to enter variations 
     based on the score.
