GNU Chess release 6.0.2

[Antonio Ceballos]

I am glad to announce version 6.0.2 of GNU Chess.

GNU Chess is a chess-playing program. It can be used to play

chess against the computer on a terminal or, more commonly, as

a chess engine for graphical chess frontends. 

This is a small release, basically for bug fixing. It addresses the following items:

- Maximum file name length of EPD files extended to 127 characters.

- Book file allowed to be read only unless the BookLearn option is set.

- New option --addbook to compile a book.

I feel very thankful to the people that reported bugs or kindly provided patches or ideas.
