You would think this should work. Help says it should work. It does not though.
Version is the Jan 12 update. To me, it makes no difference if the List Foot
option is checked. Some databases show the list, others do not. The Chessbase
databases do not - Megabase 2004, Powerbook 2004 database, their opening
training CD's. I have Starbase (a Pickard & Sons publishing effort), and that
shows the list foot regardless of the check mark enabling the feature or not.
