The first option is called "Minimum Moves", and it defaults to 2. This means that a move must occur a minimum of two times in the PGN file for it to have a non-zero weight. The second option is called "Delete Zero-Weight Branches", and this option is on by default. This option basically removes all branches of the book that contain only moves with zero weights (meaning they will never be played). This option is useful for making a book take up less space (and therefore less memory). If you set "Minimum Moves" to 1 and deselect "Delete Zero-Weight Branches", then you should get the same behavior that you had in CM8000. jm
