I agree with the response by Pete. The book.bin on Hyatts (or Corbits) site is definately the best solution, unless you have a large pgn collection. I only have about 80000 quality games so far. It might be better to change its book selection, which means altering books.bin or bookc.bin. There's a start.pgn to be found at the aforementioned site that can be used for that purpose. I haven't tried changing it yet, but I intend to, as watching the Ruy Lopez bores the living daylights out of me. The Crafty.doc will (hopefully) explain how to create a book. There's also online help if you start Crafty in text mode. Best wishes... Mogens Chr. Larsen http://home1.stofanet.dk/Moq/ "If virtue can't be mine alone, at least my faults can be my own."
