Graham,

If it's not too late, I've just released DiscoCheck 4.1
http://talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=47582

You should use the one called "discocheck_4.1_sse4.2.exe".
If it doesn't work, then you can fallback to "discocheck_4.1.exe" (it's slower and compatible with CPU that don't have SSE 4.2 instruction set).

Lucas
Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.

Do so too for ProDeo 1.85 if still possible.

Hi Graham,

Version 1.85 is without the big book-cooking file :wink: That was a one-time release to introduce the new feature valid for all future version. If people want to keep the feature they will have to move the *.CHT files to newer versions.

Version 1.85 is here: http://www.top-5000.nl/prodeo185.htm

The 791mb download fails part way through (usually between 140 and 150 mb). I've now tried four times without success.
I'll have to stick with 1.83c until I can find a way to get your new version.

Ed, thanks for the download link, but the v1.85 download size is a whopping 791 MB, and seems to include the big book/database.

Best regards,
