I saw the information in WB Forum (first information by Peter Berger) and John Merlino gave me the permission to add the information on my older News Ticker. You must have a copy from my older News Ticker. Later different people, like Manfred Meiler ... gave users much helps for the configuration! TheKing is a wonderful engine but I hope that newer TheKing versions are not to complicated for Winboarders. An own opening book (not an GUI opening book) would be great too. We can only hope that John Merline can try a little bit in the development for the next versions. Best Frank
