Subject: How to make Hiarcs 7.32 new book HELP PLEASE

Author: Chessfun

Date: 15:00:54 01/01/00


I downloaded and installed the patch h732sp1, then downloaded h732book.


Following is the readme file.
By courtesy of Mark Uniacke and Eric Hallsworth, a clearly improved book has
been made available to Hiarcs732 users. There is no need to do the conversion if
the files on your CD are dated July 1999 or later.

To create the new Hiarcs book, please do the following:

0. Download the Hiarcs732 Service Pack and install it.

DONE

1. Copy the file h732book.hbk into your root directory C:\\ It will work nowhere
else! You can delete it afterwards.

DONE

2. Start Hiarcs732 and create an empty book (Book - New Tree). Call it, say
H732.ctg

DONE

3. Press Alt-Shift-G to start th9e conversion. You will get some "Internal
messages", ignore them, they are harmless.

GOT NONE

4. Create a tree of strong modern grandmaster games. Taking the General.ctg book
of Fritz5.32 is a good choice.

IS IT NOW CORRECT TO SIMPLY IMPORT THE GENERAL.CTG TREE TO THIS NEW H732.CTG.
IF YES, WHY COULDN'T I HAVE JUST COPIED GENERAL.CTG TO H732.CTG.

OR IS IT NOW CORRECT TO MAKE ANOTHER NEW TREE SAY GENERAL1.CTG SINCE IF I MODIFY
GENERAL.CTG THAT IS FRITZ'S BOOK.

OR DO I COPY GENERAL.CTG TO GENERAL1.CTG


5. Right-click in the book window of the grandmaster tree and call "Weed Tree"
with the default parameters.

NOW I ASSUME I WEED GENERAL1.CTG CREATED ABOVE


6. Call "Import Tree" to import H732.ctg (created under 2 and 3) into
General.ctg.

THIS WILL IMPORT NOTHING SINCE NOTHING HAS BEEN PUT IN H732.CTG

7. General.ctg is now your new Hiarcs732 book.

THE FILE PUT ONTO C:\ H732BOOK.HBK WHAT IS THIS THERE FOR SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN
USED.


Any help would be appreciated: preferably detailed:-)
Thanks.
