Hi Mike,

I'd thought I'd created my own. I used files from the Winboard portable download.
I Upx'ed the lot (compressed them), and stripped out everything but the bare essentials.
I had a little room to spare after that, so I added Micromax chess engine and Engman, the
engine setup program. It all fits & runs from a single floppy disk.
