It is actually quite easy: All you need is a hex editor (I use the one in Norton Commander for DOS) to open the respective .cmx personality file and change the "06" or "0A" for the selective search depth to a greater number. Maybe it takes a little guessing if there is more than one such value. If you want to find out, just save a personality "CM6000SS10" which is equal to the default CM6000 except that selective search is set to 10. Now compare the two personalities for the one byte that is different (OK, maybe there are a few more because of the name change? Dunno if that is stored inside the file, too.) This thing was not my idea (sorry I forgot who to give credit to), but I successfully tried it myself with CM5500. --- Shep
