And AFAIR it should be done vice versa, open the h732.ctg and import the general.ctg. So you keep the move preferences, you will find exponential values of 2 in the converted hiarcs book (1024, 4096 and so) >7.

The file h732book.hbk is only needed for 1st step. After it was converted to h732book.ctg the .hbk has no sense any longer.
