Old Turbo GameWorks Chess (see end of message)

Does anyone know of this program's origin? Who wrote it for Borland?

I've seen the code on ftp sites. Is it now in the public domain?

Could this code be used to produce , e.g. , a windows version ogram for
sharewareor for sale

What is the Borland word on this.

(Borland: if I need to buy a license to use the code, how do I do this now?)
Many thanks.

Kaare Danielsen wrote it for Borland.
I have been looking for the source code of this program. I still have the book but I have lost the diskettes that came with it.
Would you be so kind as to allow me to get a copy of it? I intend to rewrite it for c++. I will give you a copy when I finish.
Thank you.

Borland translated the program into C++ and used it as an example program for the for the Borland C++ compiler, so you can probably find a C++ version of the source code somewhere. You are very welcome to use and modify the program.
