Harold,
Please excuse my ignorance but I am unclear on a few points.
3. After creating this tree, and pressing alt-shift-g I get nothing other than a
letter G below the gameboard and nothing else happens. How can it access
hiarcs.hbk, this is on c:\ per 1.
I am sure the rest will work fine once the above works correct.
The only patch available at chessbase is the one I used.
Thanks.
