Yes. It's the one that looks like an open box. Also, it's available under the View menu.

Yes, but it's less of a headache if you just re-enable auto-calculation.

Removed my Post--I want to do more checking on what I found first.

Re: GURPS GCA4 Errata
Leadership (Alchemy) and Leadership (Herb Lore) both get a bonus from Charisma....

Re: GURPS GCA4 Errata
B327 and B376 both say under Parrying, "Your Parry active defense with a given weapon is 3+ half your skill with that weapon, dropping all fractions." If my character has a regular broadsword and Broadsword 14, GCA 4 will give my skill with that given weapon as 14 and Parry as 10, which is correct (1/2 of 14 = 7, and 7 + 3 = 10).
But if I get a broadsword with +2 Accuracy, GCA will give my skill with that given weapon as 16 (correct) and Parry still at 10. By my understanding, that does not reflect my skill with that given weapon (1/2 of 16 = 8, and 8 + 3 = 11).

M65 says Accuracy "makes a weapon more likely to hit by adding to the user's effective skill." From my experience watching real-world "sword fighting" (admittedly I've mostly seen fencing or rattan weapons used), the more skilled a fighter is at swinging a weapon in combat usually the better he is whether making an attack or a Parry. Yes, I've seen some individuals who are extraordinarly good at Parry; I assume they have the Enhanced Parry enhancement. To get cinematic, in the movies/fantasy fiction I can think of the blade wielder with a magic weapon is better at Parry (The Lord of the Rings for example). I can imagine a magical sword made to attack and not parry; but to me that would be a special case. ("How can I stop this blasted sword?") Perhaps this calls for a rules ruling by a Great GURPS Guru.
