Hi

When trying to open up the Mega 2018 chessbase database (in cbh-format) I get the following error message:

invalid three-byte UTF-8 sequence detected
free(): invalid pointer
Abgebrochen (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

Converting the database with cdb2sci also results in the same error. What can I do?

Regards,
Roland

    Is it possible to provide a download link, otherwiseI cannot test this problem. I think that you know my private e-mail address.

    I got the link, many thanks.

    I've committed [r1478], now opening the database is working, it was a problem with Windoze encoding (CP1252). Unfortunately export to sci/si4 is not yet working, I'm still working on this problem.

    Revision [r1480] is converting Mega Database 2018 properly.
