Which software specifically isn't working under NT? I can read them using the
cdrom110.dll analysis module under ChessBase 6.01 on NT (just select
Status/Select analysis module and load the dll). Unfortunately I can't tell you
which of the multidinous chessbase/fritz cds it came on and it may be that you
will need the full version of chessbase. I thought that Fritz could read them
too but it doesn't seem to have that dll on the cd, maybe its called something
else.
