Anyone else have this problem? > >Chris The "kill doubles" function in CB7 is known to have some flagrant bugs, i.e. a gamefragment would not be recognized as a double vs the whole game, two identical games - but if one of them contains player ratings, no double would be recognized, etc. The "kill doubles" function in CB8 is improved, which means good motives to check out the old DB:s. An update is promised for CB7, (soon coming I think), which will give CB7 the same "kill doubles" function as CB8.
