I only have a 10.8 system (64 Bit) here but the 10.8 and the 10.9 version are the same ones. I assume he is using the pre-built version available at the gnubg.org website? (As well what version of GNUGB is he using). If he built his own the location will be different. Before I emailed you my original answer I used the makehyper program to generate the files and I moved them to that exact directory and they were found - and the About page verified they were loaded. I can only think his files are corrupt or not named correctly. They do need to be named hyper1.bd, hyper2.bd, and hyper3.bd . Any other names and they will not work. Did he genrate his own or download them. If he downloaded them where did he get them from? I am thinking there is something they are missing and likely not a bug. > Anyhow, thanks for the help, I hope we somehow get it to work and I'll > report back.

Probably have to change the GUI so that we can explicitly set a Hypergammon only MET. It would be used if someone starts a Hypergammon match. At present you would have to manually change the MET before a match. -- Michael Petch GNU Backgammon Maintainer / Developer OpenPGP FingerPrint=D81C 6A0D 987E 7DA5 3219 6715 466A 2ACE 5CAE 3304 _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
