I converted the H8 Tournament book to .ctg format in H732 using the old
instructions. Below are the instructions i used.

By courtesy of Mark Uniacke and Eric Hallsworth, a clearly improved book has
been made available to Hiarcs732 users. There is no need to do the conversion if
the files on your CD are dated July 1999 or later.

To create the new Hiarcs book, please do the following:

0. Download the Hiarcs732 Service Pack and install it.

1. Copy the file h732book.hbk into your root directory C:\\ It will work nowhere
else! You can delete it afterwards.

2. Start Hiarcs732 and create an empty book (Book - New Tree). Call it, say
H732.ctg

3. Press Alt-Shift-G to start the conversion. You will get some "Internal
messages", ignore them, they are harmless.
