Ok, but I have been reading those files for a couple of days without getting
anyware thats why I thought I might ask about it.
I also get the errormessage 'broken pipe' when running it, but only if I specify
the directories. If I only ' xboard -fcp crafty [options]' everything works
fine. Any Ideas?
