No, the issue is something else. I tried to run a Nunn match in the Fritz GUI,
after having already installed and used Pro Deo without a hitch in it, but when
I disabled the books for the match, Rebel would insistently use its own book.
Obviously the point of both Nunn sets (strangely, I notice everyone only using
Nunn2 as if it were an upgrade, but it's not, it's a different set), is to test
without book influence, so if it's reading its book, the test is pointless.
Since I didn't really care much for the small book that came with it, I just
went to the Books directory and deleted the two files. Afetr this, I got the
exact same problems he is describing, and even when I restored the books, the
problem remained.
