   I am also interested in this, but for different reasons.  I
also rewrote the PDP-11 assembler parts of the program in C, but
there are still a few problems.  There seems to be a bug in the
move evaluation, as some moves are not given the correct weighting.
Other than that, it all seems to work.  I do not have the time
or inclination to go into it further, but am willing to share
my code with others if they are so inclined.  If there are people
out there who were involved in the original development of the
program, I would like to get in contact with them to understand
how the program works.
