Changes made in this MS-DOS version:

The board display has been expanded.  I find it more readable; I hope others
do as well.

The previous MS-DOS port appears to have been for Microsoft C with, perhaps,
the compact or large models.  This version was compiled with the small model,
and places the transposition table and opening book in the far heap.  I ran
a version of the program doing a move search for several hours with stack
overflow checking turned on to make sure there was enough stack space in
the near heap; it would appear that there is.

The "post" command now works and displays the variations on one line while
the program is searching a ply; the summary for that ply then appears on that
line.

The help display has been compressed somewhat, although it does not fit on one
screen along with the board display.
