Seems the GUI is the issue. The first book hiarcs8new was made in Hiarcs 8 the
latest in the new GUI. Made in the new GUI it shoes colors. Making it in the old
GUI of Fritz 7, Hiarcs 8 shows no colors. And also depending which GUI makes the
book the percentages change.

Problem is if made in the new GUI (colored) then all moves are given 5% possible
including 1. Na3, 1. Nh3. 1. h3 etc in the old GUI. But probablility appears
correct in new GUI just percentages are different from Hiarcs8 gui.

Enough on this subject.

Sarah.
