Two comments:

1) You can "analyze" with any personality, including WinBoard engines (if they
support the "analyze" command. Just make the personality that you want to
analyze one of the players in the game, and set the time control to "Infinite".
That should do the trick.

2) You can change the hash table size of the Chessmaster personality (for
analysis/mentor features only!) by editing the CM.INI file and adding the
following:

[mentor]
ttable_size=N

where 'N' is the number of MEGABYTES you want to allocate for the hash table.

The old "ttable" entry is no longer used (and actually gets deleted if you
create one).
