Get it ?! Ant - Bug !!
Okay, so my humour needs work !!
I just set-up Ant, but I am having strange happenings !
1) The only way it will start moving is if I use the 'move now' command, then it starts moving after about thirty ( 30 ) seconds. Anyone know how to make it start playing on its own accord ??
2) There appears to be an opening book file 'Book.ant' that downloaded but it does not appear to be connected, anyone know how to connect it ??
Here is my setup:
\"Ant_416 -l -t32768\" /fd=e:\\Progra~1\\Winboard\\Ant
\"Ant_416 -l -t32768\" /sd=e:\\Progra~1\\Winboard\\Ant
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,

1. How much physical memory do you have on your computer?
2. What does your ant.rc file look like?
3. Do you have a directory called e:\tmp?

1. I have p-133 with 32 mgs of ram and over 10 gigs of hd-drive left
2. It only has two words in it: ahead xboard
3. no e:\tmp directory, do I need one for ant ??
Thx

It is a miracle that it can run at all. Your hash tables both take up every single bit of your physical memory. You are using your disk for ram.
Take those 32 megabyte -t32768 switches down to about 8 megabytes and try again.
Looks OK then
Apparently. It's in the readme.

That is probably the main reason for the troubles encountered.
If it's the newest Ant version (4.16) then Ant.rc isn't necessary any longer. You need two book files, a learn file and an executable. Only the hashsize is important, which is set in the WinBoard.ini file.
I don't have a c:tmp directory and I doubt it's necessary.
Sincerely,
Mogens

Okay, now I know what -t32768 means -:)
Here is my new winboard.ini line:
\"Ant_416 -l -t8\" /fd=e:\\Progra~1\\Winboard\\Ant
\"Ant_416 -l -t8\" /sd=e:\\Progra~1\\Winboard\\Ant
Great, I just tried it and it moved on it's own, without any prompting !!
Anybody know how to setup the opening books ?? It is thinking for about 20 secs on the very first move, confirming the opening books are not working.
Thx, Dan
