Bob and Corsten, thanks again I'm having a problem that may be my ignorance with the new 14.5 binary. I went to remake the book files since crafty now initialzes them to the current version and got what I think is strange output See below EPD Kit revision date: 1996.04.21 6 tablebase file(s) found in the TB directory. unable to open book file [:Books:book.bin]. book is disabled unable to open book file [:Books:books.bin]. Crafty v14.5 White(1): book create small.txt 60 parsing pgn move file (10000 moves/dot) end-of-file reached end-of-file reached sorting 0 moves (200K/dot) <done> merging sorted files (0) (10K/dot) ............................................................(600000) it parsed the book small.txt (I know this is not the ideal opening book, but tonight I'm a little short on hard disk space to parse the medium or large books). My concern is about the end-of-file markers and the subsequent notation of 0 moves and merging sorted files (0) This also happens when I try to recreate the books file. If left to its own devices, it keeps sorting ?empty? files, after a 10 million moves I felt this was an error. My best guess is it has to do with file paths, but I'm not sure. Again, no complaint against the excellent work done. Just wanting a little help to get it up and running. Thanks in advance. William
