Hello Gordon >i) When people talk about a serial cable, they sometimes also refer to it as a >"null modem" cable. I presume they as referring to a cable that plugs into the >9 pin port and not a cable that connects two modems? Yes but send and recieve within the cable has to be crossed (X). These kind of cable you cant use to connect a modem to your computer!!!! >ii)I get an error stating that the endgame tablebases are >not installed? Is this requirement? I assume you are using CB-GUI (F6) there are two possible reasons for this. 1. You have to put the path of the tablebases in the CHSSBASE.ini in your windows directory. How to do this is explained in the Help within F6. 2. You have to install all of the delivered Tablebases. If you only install the 4 piece TBS F6 will not work. On the CD are three 5 piece TBS which have to be installed also!!! In other words: If F6 only finds 4 piece TBS it will not work!! > >iii) I then tried setting up a match between two versions of Shredder 5. This >time I just get a communication error. So it definitely seems I've done >something wrong. YES!! S5 works fine even without a book or any TBS. it just gives a warning that it is not on optimal settings. >iii) I have the following programs: Fritz6, Junior6, Shredder5, Rebel Century >3, Gambit Tiger, Chess Tiger, CM8000. Are there any of these that I won't be >able to use with auto player? Hmm. Rebel Century will not work without additional software AFAIK. But if you use the additional software RC3 will somehow hurt by the Autoplayer software and lose some (or a lot, depending on the point of view) strength. I dont know CM8000. The rest should be fine!
