Go up one level in this thread


Thanks for the reply.  I'm pretty happy with SCID just the way it is too.

It is actually that site, newscid.sourceforge.net, where I am unable to login.
I didn't understand the need to rewrite the gui in java either.  I don't know
what QT is.

I am running version 3.6.1 but there is a bug with the ECO screen where the
following appears:
invalid command name "::utils::graph::Xunmap"
Do your fixes correct this and if so are they available?

Regards.

Steve
