I think I got it now, thanks for help Franz! What happened was I had put the
.rar file already in the egdb folder made by (unzipping) Gambit Fruit. Unrarring
this file it created another egdb folder within the first! I suspected that
might not work but placing the second egdb folder outside and renaming Gambit
Fruit's own egdb folder somehow also did not work. (Maybe I forgot the dll)
Then second try I copied all the bitbase .dat files out of that second egdb
folder and placed the copies one level higher in the first level egdb folder.
That seems to work! the egdbdll.dll is stil in that same egdb folder because
that's where it was unrarred it but that seems no problem. I read now from you
this is even necessary!
It is possible to check by simply "opening" GFruit-4b.exe (leftclick on the exe
file) and see it loading or not loading the bitbases. If one of the bitbases
can't be loaded the engine reports that, else it simply says
Gambit Fruit based on Fruit 2.1 and Toga by Ryan Benitez, Thomas Gaksch and
Fabien Letouzey
bitbase loading started
bitbase loading ended
bitbase loaded
Sample output from Gambit Fruit with bitbases in Shredder Classic (that I used
for the "debugging", in Shredder's GUI ucidebug mode, from which the
debugging-output coveniently does not get copied out of the analysis window,
only the PVs you'd usually want, rest is to be found in dumpfile, very neat
programming by Stefan!):
