Yes, that's something I didn't considered, that you can probably have
Chessbase's version of Crafty annotate a game for you from their gui.  Have you
tried that yet?  That probably works.  I have no idea if Crafty would do a
better job with the annotations than The Chessbase program who's gui you're
using though.

But that's probably worth considering that you can probably use several
different engines to annotate games with if you get a Chessbase gui.  I don't
know that first hand though.
