I probably have the old GoldPack but I continioulsly update the winboard.exe. I will switch the to the new one shortly.
But I am glad you solved it! Cool
Actually you did :) I haven't noticed that you mentioned to change the path there .

Ah .. the problem is due to the command line which assumes the book to be in the working directory (actually true for the new goldpack but not so for my case), mine was somewhere else (polyglot15w). And that is also why"Book.Bin" was in the global settings by "default", which actually got replaced by the command line option. Anyway problem solved and burried.. thanks
