Hello Rajen,

if you let me know the exactly paths of your folders

- Chessmaster 8000, e.g. C:\Program files\Chessmaster 8000

- Fritz 7

- ChessBase\Engines

then I will send you some prepared files for starting the CM8000 engine "The
King 3.12d" (as UCI engine with the Wb2Uci adaptor of Odd Gunnar Malin) in Fritz
7 very simply - including the possibility to switch between some special CM
settings (like CM_default, CM_Fun, CM8777_Kleinert, CM8999_Brannn, CM_Pillen) in
an easy way.


Regards,
Manfred
