RE: [Bug-gnubg] Request for Help regarding instructions on renaming anddeleting superfluous BD databases |

Hi Jim,
rename os13.bd gnubg_os.bd
rename 6x11.bd gnubg_ts.bd
os12.bd is a subset of os13.bd, so can be
deleted.
The hyperx.db's are only useful if you play
Hypergammon.
gnubg_os0.bd and gnubg_ts0.bd are loaded into memory when
you run gnubg. They are a subset of gnubg_os.bd and gnubg_ts.bd, containing data for
a limited number of chequers.
gnubg_os.bd and gnubg_ts.bd are kept on disk. Gnubg uses
them if it can't find the data in gnubg_os0.bd and gnubg_ts0.bd. Getting data from
disk is slower than from memory, but there is more space
available.
I think appearance specifications are stored in
.gnubgautorc. You could keep this file when you update, and restore
it.
Regards,
Ian Shaw
Hi! Before my questions I want to thank all of
the programmers for making such a wonderful program with all of your hard
work. GNUBG is the most wonderful gift for a backgammon enthusiast such
as my self. Major kudos to you all.
My
questions are fairly simple but I don't want to make a mistake by
misuderstanding the Documentation.
1.
Listed below is the BD files as they now look in my gnubg directory.
Could you tell me what renaming changes are needed to make the BD's functional
and if any should be deleted.
os13.bd
1,580,176KB
os12.bd
697,954 KB
gnubg_ts0.bd 6,671 KB
gnubg_os0.bd 1,432 KB
6x11.bd 1,196,605
KB
hyper1.bd
19KB
hyper2.bd
3,369KB
hyper3.bd 293,458
KB
2. I am
also running the last build based on gtk+ - 1.3 as I like to have 2 programs
configured differently. A problem I am having when I extract a new build
forthis program is that it changes the apperance of the program to a non-3d
menu highlight and in general looks like a program from the windows 98
era. How can I get the appearance I had before back? Is it as
simple as saving and inserting my old gnubg.gtkrc and gnubg.gtkrc.ja or is it
more complicated?
I know
you are all busy in many endeavors so please accept my thanks in advance to
anyone will take the time to answer these simple (but for me confusing)
questions.
Thanks
again for the finest backgammon program in the world.
Sincerely,
Jim
Curtis
