Just because you insist on creating settings text-based only, you expect the
programmer should change something exclusively for that purpose?! :-)) Show some
sense for reality please.

I don't need this experience, because I don't need to convert in that direction.

Simply create settings in the CM GUI and you don't have that problem. You can
take the values required for setting text files then, by temporarily using a
replacement engine (instead of TheKing.exe) which writes a logfile. - That's the
"usability" of Chessmaster, for enginefans... they actually punish people for
being fans of their engine. Btw. the next CM version I consider to buy has no
OPK stuff built in - IOW CM9000 is the last one I'll have bought. :-)
