If you followed the other directions on the web.wt.net page, which say to download WinBoard 4.2.7, then you already have a compiled GNU Chess 5.07 book. The filename is book.dat. I don't know of any reason it shouldn't work with the MSVC-compiled GNU Chess 5.07 from web.wt.net, although I haven't tried the latter. -- Tim Mann usenet@tim-mann.org http://www.tim-mann.org/
