Hi, My fault, I forgot to check to check the existence of a translation word. Phalanx (the one coming with Scid) is required for tactical game. So simply declare the Phalanx engine within Scid (New engine, etc...). Pascal. 2008/9/5 Jürgen Lange <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hi Pascal, > compliment, rea

Hello again, I don't know if it's appropriate to put here a modified part of help.tcl dealing with analysis window. After it follows the old part, for comparison. The change should lie between lines 2353 and 2513, if I am using the correct version of the file. Here are the main changes : + El

Hi Pascal, compliment, really good work!! Another problem: Phalanx crashes with "The analysis engine terminated without warning: it probably crashed or had an internal error". So I decided half year ago to remove Phalanx. Now I get following error message using "Play, Tactical game": can't read "
