Don't use Alaricwb 0702!

Use Alaricwb 0702b instead.
There is a bug in the winboard version (not the uci version).
I have a fix uploaded. http://alaric.fendrich.se/Downloads.html
Sorry for the inconvenience...

Just to make sure, I'd like to ask: Is the UCI version 0702b identical to the 0702 version (I see the file size remains the same)?

Currently I am running a "Blivorix"(*) test with Alaric 0702. I have chosen the UCI version because half of that test is in Fritz. Thanks for this good engine! From intermediate results, I can already tell that it is quite strong. It scored 50% against the Arena group of the Blivorix opponents, ~2650. I am using it with an empty book file and with a neutral test book.

This is the time for me that it seems to work fine with Wine under Linux. Maybe I find more time at the weekend to test.

Hi Mike,
They are completely identical but 0702b is compiled again.
No need to change.
