Hello,

I could send you two ZIP files for automatic "refreshing" the OPK number if you
let me know the EXACT paths (inclusive possible spaces) of your folders

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

- Fritz 7

- ChessBase\Engines.

With these prepared files you can start the CM8000 engine "The King 3.12d" (as
UCI engine with the Wb2Uci adapter 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, CM_Schuele, CM_Pillen) in an easy way.

Important is: In your CM8K folder there must be the file "TheKing.exe" (127.488
Byte); this is the engine The King 3.12d resulting from the latest patch/upgrade
1.0.4 to Chessmaster 8000 - look at:
http://chessmaster8000.ubi.com/upgrade8000.html

Manfred
