in the RHP MAil Room and I could pick it up from there.
Actually, non-subs can post in the mail room. I just put the program there if you want to download it. Thanks for your help!

[fen]2K5/8/1kpq1r2/2p5/8/Q7/8/8[/fen]

White to play gets the draw by chcecking on b3 & a3

To avoid the perpetual the King has to go to a7 when Qb7 is mate in one.
I tried to put this game in there but it bugged out on me and shut down trying to play from that position.

I'm using Linux. That was version 2 -- I've upgraded since then to 5. What sort of differences in compilation could change the behavior of a code that drastically, though?

No slight intended about you being a non-sub.

Saw something in in another thread about non-subs cannot
acces the RHP mail room.

Did you leave me the 'Opening Traps' e books - somebody did?
