Thanks Mike. I am having a hard time understanding how to extract command
strings from winning games. First of all, there are two game files, 001 and 002,
and 001 is always blank. Then there are two log files, 001 and 002. Why are 4
files written for each game? Why not just one log file?
What is frustrating me is that neither the 001.log or the 002.log show the
complete game. I'm getting only partial log files, without any result. Could you
post the crafty.rc file that works for you in Arena?
Thanks
Dave
