This is the latest release of the Screamer Chess Engine for PowerPC
Macintosh Computers. The distribution includes the Chess Program,
An opening book, elementary end-game-tablebases, and complete instructions.

A MacOS X compatible version will be coming soon.

This is from the _Read_Me_First_ file.
What's New - build 57
Screamer has a new log option, "Log to PGN File".
This option allows all games played to be send to a file in PGN
format.
The PGN file can be used a a game database and directly inported
into Exachess or any chess database program.
What's Better
Rewrote the evaluation function.
This increases Screamer's score on test suites as follows:
Correct ELO USCF Rating
CCR 19 / 25 2350 2530
LCT II 23 / 35 2415 2595
BT2630 23 / 30 2376 2556
Average: 2380 2560
WAC 292/300 @ 1 minute
Note: This is on my G3 Tower 266mhz (66mhz system bus).

What's Fixed
A number of minor bug fixes were made.
