Thanks, Kurt, for the info on how to use Chessmaster in Fritz-GUI.

I guess I get an instinctive knee-jerk reaction whenever someone says anything
is impossible.  There have been altogether too many examples where such
statements were disproven.  For example, "Man cannot fly."

All it would really take, perhaps, is for the Chessbase 8 programmers to modify
their software.  I hope THAT would not be impossible!
