Thank you for your reply. I have Windows only (no Unix).
In Windows, the trick proposed by Jeremiah Penery works well: Crafty has a great
undocumented command: "batch". It is added to crafty.rc in the following way:
batch on
annotate first.pgn b 1-999 -1 5
annotate second.pgn w 1-999 -1 5
quit
The result of the "batch" command is fine.
Sorry for wrong topic title. Crafty has no bug!
