     Hi Michael
     Just tried your settings, but unfortunately
     without success: when I start Fritz8-GUI with
     SmarThink the GUI shows a hash table size of
     only 1 MB [despite correct settings in the
     smarthink.ini] although TaskInfo2000 announces
     correct values as per ini-file. And still no
     access to the EGTB in the search !! And also
     problems when switching between playing and
     anylising mode. I am giving up using SmarThink
ยจ    under Fritz8-GUI
