Deleting the position.bin and position.lrn can't hurt and might give you or somebody else an idea to track the problem. Deleting book.bin == deleting the book Deleting book.lrn should have no effect whatsoever. Deleting books.bin should make no sense as this file isn't changed at all during play.

I'm trying to extend crafty's book knowledge, and yet still retain >all the learned info. I think only Bob Hyatt can give a good answer to your question probably . As I understand importing book.1 will not do anything good though as the learning is stored in your book.bin anyway and book.lrn is just kind of a logfile to what has happened in your book.bin while learning . Position learning in Crafty should have very little positive effect on your account's performance. And yes - I don't have the slightest idea what causes your problems ;-) pete > >Mark
