Hi Michael

It's very simple, if i import the pgn file as downloaded into a chessbase
database, all that shows is "ACO Analysis" in the tournament field and the Eco
code numbers.

There is no need for Chris to make a chessbase file for me, i've already done
that using the method described above. Took about two minutes. :-)

Regards
Dave
