This program is free for personal use.

CBCOUNT is a WIN32 program, so you must be running Windows 95 or NT to use it!

=======================================================================
New in Version 0.2!

1) Big speed improvement by using memory-mapped files: 
Over 3000 games/second on 486/50

2) Wildcard processing, so you can scan multiple databases

3) Calculates win/draw/lose and performance numbers for each player.

=======================================================================

Files you now have:

CBCOUNT.TXT   the file you are reading
CBCOUNT.EXE   the CBCOUNT program

You also need to have MSVCRT40.DLL in your \Windows\System directory
=======================================================================

The program CBCOUNT scans a ChesBase data file and produces a report
listing the players represented in the file and the number of games played
by each player, along with the win/draw/lose counts.

To run, type CBCOUNT file.cbf [-limit=count]

For example:

CBCOUNT recent.cbf -limit=15

will produce a list of the top 15 players in recent.cbf.
For a file of recent games, this might look something like this:

Total    Win    Draw   Lose    %       Name
