	Actually, the ruling for castling is that you cannot castle when your
KING is threatened.  Your rook has nothing to do with it.  You also cannot
castle accross check meaning if your KING has to cross a threatened sqaure
you cannot castle.  Again, your rook has nothing to do with it. (Article
6.1, second section A. Laws of Chess FIDE as amended by the Congresses to
1977.)
