Description of problem:

Hello there,

I have just tried to compile package gnuchess-5.02-9 from Redhat 8.0

I got the following messages from the compiler.

cc: Warning: book.c, line 309: In this statement, this argument to printf and conversion specifier "%2.0f" combine integer and floating-point types.  
Behavior can be unpredictable. (outfloatint)
cc: Warning: cmd.c, line 267: In this statement, this argument to sscanf is of "pointer to short" type and is not appropriate for the conversion 
specifier 
"%d".  The value may overwrite other data or produce unexpected results. (inptrtype)
cc: Warning: cmd.c, line 267: In this statement, this argument to sscanf is of "pointer to short" type and is not appropriate for the conversion 
specifier 
"%d".  The value may overwrite other data or produce unexpected results. (inptrtype)
cc: Warning: cmd.c, line 397: In this statement, this argument to printf and conversion specifier "%.2f" combine integer and floating-point types.  
Behavior can be unpredictable. (outfloatint)
cc: Warning: iterate.c, line 98: In this statement, this argument to printf is of "float" type and is not appropriate for the conversion specifier "%s".  The 
value will be formatted in an unintended manner. (outstringtype)
cc: Warning: iterate.c, line 98: In this statement, the number of conversion specifiers to printf exceeds the number of values to be converted.  
Conversion specifiers from "%6.2f" onward will process meaningless and perhaps invalid data. (outtoofew)
cc: Info: players.c, line 192: In this statement, an array is being accessed outside the bounds specified for the array type. (subscrbounds)

Here is an untested patch to shut up the compiler.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile with Compaq C compiler
2.
3.
    

Additional info:


Use of Compaq C compiler not significant.

Any C compiler that checks printf'scanf parameter
lists will produce similar messages.
