Scid vs. PC has si4 support

[stevenaaus]

Scid vs. PC has a new release.

It now includes support for si4.
No bugs have been found, but please back-up important databases in case of unforseen issues.

The correspondence chess, tree and mask features have been updated, and from the main right-click menu, most widgets can be hidden.

The OSX package should be better too (please see installation notes).

No, sorry. I've just now added the si4 Mate-in-N puzzle bases to the Windows zipfile, and a few other minor things.

Hi Steve,

thanks for your new Scid version!

A short question: What does the following line 802 in scid.gui mean/do?
"wm iconphoto . -default icon"

I'm asking because I get an error message on this line (something like "cannot create ..." when starting Scid, and I have to comment out this line (with #) to get Scid running (on my old Win98 notebook).

Regards,
Franz

It's not something i've looked at, but Nalimov tablebases seem supported. It's in Windows->EndgameTableWindow. Press F1 for help.

What does ... "wm iconphoto . -default icon"

It sets the icon for the window manager to use. Nothing important.
Hmm... does everything else work on win98. What version of tcl is reported in the About widget ?

Hi Franz,

have you seen this post from Ignacio Santos about Mate in 19?

It shows "Using Tcl/Tk version 8.5.4", and so far I don't see any other problems in Win98 (but I've not yet worked very much with Scid).

Yes, I've seen it and I've also made a (short) trial with ChestUCI.
But I know that Ignacio also knows ChestUCI quite well, and if he with his fast computer didn't find a solution, then my old slow notebook has no chance at all.
