Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help with a problem I'm having.

I got this software recently:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Go-Board-Game-Go-Program-Dan-Tutor-Shortcut-Dan-/280521510051?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4150628ca3

even though I'm on Linux (Ubuntu). However Wine has a hard time with it (could be fonts). No problem, GoGrinder will be better anyway. Sadly, whilst the problems are in easy to access files (I think) I've no clue how to process them into sgf. For each set of problems (there are 6) there are three files. ASH1.go (no not Go Ishi format sadly) and ASH1.dat, both contain only around 44 largely unreadable lines of characters - metadata I guess. ASH1.txt has 1021 lines - this probably contains the problems (there are 1000 in a set).

ASH1.txt is full of:

\313\300\273 etc padded out with ^@'s (first 1000 lines, then 21 of just the numbers/codes. It's not ascii, and apparently not Chinese unicode...

does this seem at all familiar to anyone??

I will try asking the seller too to see if the know - I'm not entirely convinced they actually wrote it from scratch though - not that it matters.

edit: it might matter as I'd then guess the files were created around 1998ish in China.

I'm on it.

I figured out most of it last night. I won't make any promises as to when it will be finished because I have very limited time at my disposal, but I will make an sgf converter sometime the nearest week(s).

:D Thankyou! That would be fantastic - absolutely no need to rush.
