Re: [Scidvspc-users] 4.11 release candidate

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for the feedback on the win 64 bit version.
I dont have a test machine for this one.

Is it 100% reprodicible ? Can anyone else confirm this ?
I've never seen this issue on any other platform.

Do you mean that there is only 3 piece sets available in the
Options->Chessboard/pieces window ? If so, this is due to failing to
load
the TkImg package. Can you confirm that it fails to load from looking
at the Startup window (Help->Startup).
Also , i have a hunch that if you have ActiveState Tcl also installed,
this can cause problems. Is this the case ?
