I suggest deleting it. Now try doing the following: 1. Make a folder/directory named book in the installation folder (probably RebelTigerII) of Rebel Tiger. 2. Under the book folder make 2 another folders and named it: a. nogambit b. gambit 3. move your ct.tbk to nogambit folder (keeping the original) 4. move your gambit.tbk to gambit folder (keeping the gambit book) If you want to use the gambit book, gambit.tbk then A. rename it to ct.tbk at your gambit folder. B. copy (not move!) this ct.tbk to RebelTigerII or to the installation folder. You may now open the program and can load the ct.tbk (this is the gambit book) The limitation of this program is, it cannot see a book other than ct.tbk Now if You want to use the original book A. delete the ct.tbk in the RebelTigerII/intallation folder. B. goto folder book\nogambit and copy the ct.tbk to RebelTigerII/installation folder and you are now ready to load again the ct.tbk (but this is now the original ct.tbk) Regards, Dinan > >Well that much I have accomplished.
