Also ½ would be perfect :)

@HGM It would be nice also to have the updated ELO automatically recalculated for each engine from a given value... And you could embed all in Winboard.

The way I have written it now also works for cases of multiple games per pairing, as long as no engine has more than 9.5 points. It would print 3% for 3.5, etc. The Sonnenborn-Berger points it print are multiplied by 4, to avoid having to use fractions there.

I am thinking of making the table format customizable through an option menu. E.g. make it possible to also show the results of the individual games, by having a string of +=- in the table cells, like hgtbl.exe is doing. The sorting criteria could also be made an option. Currently it sorts by match points, with S-B as a tie breaker. For incomplete tournaments S-B is not ideal, though. In hgtbl.exe I sort first by score percentage, then by absolute points, then by resistance points (sum of opponent points), and finally S-B.
HI!
Could you please recompile your wonderful Crosstable Utility hgtbl.exe with unicode character ½ given by mvanthoor ? I'd like to use it to publish some new BanksiaGUI results.

I have a strange issue. I'm sure it was working fine. Now when I drop the pgn file into the icon, it doesn't open it anymore...
I have tried with more pgn tournaments and re-downloaded the .exe .. Maybe you could add a menu voice: "Open .pgn"
