Great. In fact I don't know if it makes sense to keep on having a (poor)
gnubg manual and a good "tutorial", it's kind of wasting efforts.
Ever thought about working on the manual ? IMO, the manual is the
main (and probably only) area where gnubg is behind its competitors ...

Download the latest windows distrib at www.gnubg.org.
It seems it has a problem loading old files due to a locale setting thing
(comma instead of dot as decimal separator) : keep your old install around
(install new distrib in a different directory).

This output is fine, I was talking about the rollout stats windows you get
when you do a rollout from thr hint window and you press the "View stats"
button.
