Hehe , while trying to word things oh so cautiously to avoid misunderstandings you sometimes exagurrate and the message itself doesn't get through anymore :-) The book that can be improved is the Hiarcs 7.32 one , not the Fritz one . Go to http://www.chessbase.com/supportframe.html Download and install Hiarcs Servicepack ( if you own Hiarcs 7.32 ) Then download new Hiarcs book zip-file and follow the instructions in readme . If you look at the readme there is the reference to the Fritz book ( we were talking about ) as a possible base-tree where you can insert the Hiarcs book patchset into , which is a translation of the original Hiarcs-DOS book into Chessbase-tree language . Hope this is better worded ( but am not sure at all :-) ) . Cheers . pete
