I've looked into the problem a little more and it appears that the Zarkov5 engine doesn't handle secondary time controls properly. I'm not sure whether I'd call it an interface or an engine problem -- the documentation on how the Millenium interface sends time control info is quite confusing. Anyway, hopefully I'll have it fixed and a new version sent to Ossi soon... Thanks for pointing this problem out! John
