The sos 11/99 works here. Have you put the cygwin1.dll in the sos folder?

I have seen some other problem with CA 6.1

1. Update of Hugebase
   When HugeBase is updated with games from the e-mail service (CA-format)
   (Help/Update wizard). The game is not found with search for player.
   If mark/substring is used to find the player all games is found.
   The mark/substring find several players with exact same name and rating
   while in the normal list there is only one name.
   The quick fix that I have been doing is 'delete three' and 'build three'
   after reciving each e-mail service.

2. HTML export
   The 'Use different notation settings' under 'Print option/Web export'
   is not working.
   Quick fix: Change the notation in the 'Option/Notation' before export.

3. DGT error
   Define position (Shift+Ctrl+S) in view mode don't accept input 'From dgt
   board'.
   There is poping up an error box, before the program terminate.
   Tested on WinNT and Win2000

4. Interactive analysis
   When the interactive analysis (Default settings) comes to ply 14-15 it start
   speeding up the analysis. It use 5-6 sec. on each play and goes rapid up to
   100 ply.
   Example of position: r3k2r/1bq2ppp/p1p1pn2/8/2NP4/B7/P3BPPP/Q4RK1 b kq -
   Could it be a hash problem with Tiger's. They use a lot of time to find the
   Fine 70 position, time > 1 min.

5. Engines inline comment
   Time is always 00:00.00 when time is automatic put in scoresheet.
   Time in analysis window is correct (also for Winboard engines!).

6. Engines priority
   The Engine setup/sensitivity don't work as expected with Winboard engines.

Only  1. and 4 is a little annoying.
