Hi Graham
Such things can happen. But it's fine that you are going to
rerun all games. As far as SmarThink 017.a is concerned I
do not think that there will be much difference in performance
between 20 MB and 128 MB hash. The importance of big hash
size is much overestimated. Interesting to see if your games
will support my "theory".
