** PGC development

Work continues on the coded version of PGN.  This is documented in the PGN
specification file "Standard".  A simple PGC writer has already been
implemented; a PGC reader is under development.

** LVN formal description and LVC implementation

A formal description of LVN (Lisp Variation Notation) is begin developed. LVN
is used as part of one version of an opening book subsystem.  The coded
version, LVC, is also under development.  The documentation for these will
appear in the PGN specification file "Standard".

** HIC formal description and implementation

HIC (Hash Indexed Code) is a format used as part of a very powerful opening
book subsystem.  The documenation for HIC will appear in the PGN specification
file "Standard".

** sanpos.h/sanpos.c: positional evaluation

The file pair sanpos.h/sanpos.c is under development.  This new subsystem is a
C implementation of a positional evaluator based on the ideas presented by
Atkin and Slate in their CHESS 4.5 program.

** santts.h/santts.c: transposition table subsystem

The file pair santts.h/santts.c is under development.  This new subsystem will
provide a general transposition table mechanism for position storage and
retieval during search.

** repetition detection

A position repetition detector is under construction and will be implemented
parallel with the existing draw detection routines.
