"right" being the current directory of the top of my head. i.e. If you run "xboard -fcp "/usr/local/bin/gnuchess" -fd"/usr/local/lib/gnuchess" Put book.dat in /usr/local/lib/gnuchess Apologies if you run Windows, but you can work out the analogous settings with winboard. The current directory should be writable for the person running the program if you want logs, and game archive running with relevant options. Stefan has volunteered to sort out the PGN file, Thanks! There were nearly 25,000 duplicate games in there Before I gave it to Stefan I dropped, or corrected, all the games that give errors on compiling the book, and dropped all duplicates (SCID is a brilliant piece of free software!), and cleaned up players names (SCID is a brilliant piece of free software!), so the mistakes if any probably won't be Stefan's fault but mind ;) We'll release a cleaner and better book with 5.03 - promise. Although if it gets much bigger we might be tempted to release it in SCID not PGN format?!
