[computer-go] Flummoxed with GTP

[Peter Drake]

As always, publicly announcing one's confusion generally causes a  
solution to appear.

The difference is that my program is being invoked from a different  
directory, which was causing confusion when the program went to look  
up the opening book file.

We apologies for the interruption and return you to your regularly  
scheduled programming.
