While studying endgame position below:

White: King on d5, two Pawns on a5 and c6
Black: King on c8, Pawn on a6

I fired up Infinite Analysis function in Deep Fritz 8. Having Prof. Hyatt's
tablebase, Deep Fritz 9 quickly shows in the Main Engine pane:

1. +- (#16): 1.Kc4
2. +- (#16): 1.Kd4
3. +- (#16): 1.Kc5

My question is:

1) How can I make Fritz actually display the actual mate in 16 in the
Notation pane? Right-clicking the Main Engine pane and choosing "Copy to
notation" merely copy the phrase "[DeepFritz 8: 1.Kc4 #16/0]" to the
Notation pane.

2) The work-around to that is obviously by playing out the moves one-by-one.
So in the Main Engine Pane:

1. +- (#16): 1.Kc4

after making that move

1. +- (#15): 1...Kb8

and so on. After actually playing out the moves, the Notation window gives:

1.Kc4 Kb8 2.Kd4 Kc8 3.Kd5 Kc7 4.Kc5 Kc8 5.Kb6 Kd8 6.Kb7 Ke7 7.c7 Kf6 8.Kxa6
Ke6 9.Kb6 Kd6 10.a6 Ke7 11.a7 Kd7 12.a8Q Ke7 13.c8Q Kf6 14.Qd5 Kg6 15.Qg4+
Kf6 16.Qde6# 1-0
How can I see all these without having to play it out?
