I went to Dan's site and downloaded the eco.epd and eco.xtd and imported them
into Crafty. I have a few question about what I am seeing;

1st, after importing these files and restarting crafty I see very few CAP scores
(and yes I do have a rather large book) but from the start I type go and the
only CAP score is for the d4 all of the others show -655.36. Is something a miss
here, why no CAP score for other moves e4, Nf3 etc?

2nd, There are several sub directories under the Public_CAP_Results and each of
them contain different file types. Which files are to be used for importing the
CAP information into Crafty? Also since the import function in Crafty will over
write previous entries is there one large file that can be used for the import
function or is there a set order that files (which ever one is to be used) are
to be imported?



Thanks
