DHM,

THANKS!  Is the 12/27 update file also the same size?  I did find a copy of the
update I used to get the J9 Verson 2 engine that was posted here, as a link, and
tried that, redoing the update. I had initially renamed that so I could identify
it. It had a Jan 4 date and is 8,744,987 bytes. The one I got today from the
Playchess site, created Jan 6, is 8,906,618 bytes. The older one did not cure
the problem, nor did it write over my ver 3 of the J9 engine file (I had saved a
copy of that in another folder). Perhaps the 12/27 would be best?  Please send
to camorglaw@adelphia.net.  I'll give it a try and let you know by post here.
Many thanks!!

Chris
