Hello

>Does Shredder9 uses the same learning file of Shredder8?

No, the S8 learn file is names "shredder.plr", the lern file for S9 is
"shredder.pl2".
I have not tried, and I will not because I will not destroy something, but maybe
you can "rename" the "shredder.plr" to "shredder.pl2". I dont know if they have
the same format but I guess so. Make a copy of the plr file in advance!!!

>Which is the size limit for this file?

As Helmut said it is 8 MB and I am not sure if the possible strength enhancement
is worth the trouble you mentioned, but to find out may be the fun! :-)
