You can change the size of the hash table by going into the "Users" directory
under your CM6000 directory (usually "\Program Files\Chessmaster 6000"). Under
that "Users" directory, you will see the directory for the user that you created
when you first logged in. In THAT directory, you will find a USER.INI file,
where USER is the name that you logged in as. Open that file for editing and you
will see, in the [engine] section, an entry titled "ttable_size". The default
value for this is 20 (1MB). Each increase of 1 doubles the size of your hash
table, so 21=2MB, etc....

This does not exist in CM6000.

CM6000 reads PGN just fine.

CM6000 also reads Forsythe. In the program, use the "Load Game" menuitem under
the "File" Menu. Then, in the "File of Type" combobox, select "Forsythe
Position". The "Open As" combobox should automatically switch to read "Forsythe
Board Position." Note that this file MUST have a .TXT extension. It should open
just fine.
