Hi Carol, No problem. If you run the dpkg command to give you a list of files installed by the Scid package (you may have to prefix this with sudo, cannot remember)
$ dpkg -L scid | grep bin You should get a list something like this : /usr/local/bin/pgnfix /usr/local/bin/sc_eco /usr/local/bin/sc_epgn /usr/local/bin/sc_import /usr/local/bin/sc_remote /usr/local/bin/sc_spell /usr/local/bin/scid /usr/local/bin/scidpgn /usr/local/bin/spf2spi /usr/local/bin/spliteco /usr/local/bin/tkscid /usr/local/share/scid/books/Elo2400.bin /usr/local/share/scid/books/Performance.bin /usr/local/share/scid/books/gm2600.bin /usr/local/share/scid/books/varied.bin The "local" folder may not used on your own system but I run OpenBSD where a separate local partition is standard for installed programs. The executable are all in the bin folder and of those only tkscid is a compiled program. All others are scripts which can be read with any text reader e.g. less or geany (colourises the text). The file command can also sometimes be useful. $ file /usr/local/bin/pgnfix /usr/local/bin/pgnfix: a /usr/local/bin/python2.7 script text executable $ file /usr/local/bin/scid /usr/local/bin/scid: Bourne shell script text executable Reading the scripts will tell you what they do.
