zzzzzz 3.2 available

[Gijsb. Wiesenekker]

ZZZZZZ 3.2 is now available by anonymous ftp from chess.uoknor.edu in
the directory /pub/chess/uploads/Unix or (if Chris has already moved it)
in the directory /pub/chess/Unix.
Please ignore the file zzzzzz-3.2.tar.Z, it is only partly transferred
due to a connection timeout. ftp zzzzzz-3.2b1.tar.Z instead.

It is also available from the iodine.chem.vu.nl in the directory /pub.

The major changes are:
- Both the chess and the draughts (10x10) program should compile and run
under DOS now (the compiler used was Borland-C 3.1).

- The draughts program includes a code generator which generates branch
optimized C-code from a file with pattern definitions, making it very
easy to add positional code to the draughts program.
The patterns (and functions) have only to be defined for white, they
will be automatically applied for black.

- Various algorithm improvements:
The threat extensions are no longer beta-dependent.
The chess castling bonus has been replaced by explicit king-safety checks.

- Parts of the code have been cleaned up.
