Thanks for the reply. Sadly, I am not a programmer and do not have C or the tbgen source code, so cannot easily implement your solution. Time to start again. It seems from the time it took you to generate KRRKR that you have something other than a slow PC - unless I missed a trick. (I simply downloaded the zipped version of tbgen.exe at chess.onenet and set it going, without anything on the command line other than directory paths for the various files.).
