[Bug-gnubg] Question about working with the Train-Menu

[stephan]

Hi,

 

I'm sorry to bother you with a probably simple subject:

I've installed GNU backgammon v0.12 build from 12.01.2003.

 

I swear that I read the manual and the faq, but obviously I don't have the right idea or have already understood how GNU bg works. Though some questions came up to me:

 

- I try to generate database like I was told by a manual I found. It says the gnubg.gdbm would be generated. The file grows indeed and has now a size about 2 MB. My question now is: how big will it be, almost how many time will it take and does the program stops generating itself when it is ready or do I have to do anything?

 

- there are certain files with the extension .bg like gnubg_os.bd. Do I need them and how does the programm know what the name of the file is? Can I add other files with that when I generated them with the makebearoff.exe ?

 

- what about the rollout database or train td(0) and the other menu points?

 

Thank you for your effords in advance. If there are any pages where the information are contained please let me know. I won't bother you then any longer ... ;-)

 

Kind regards
