I've messed around some with the Fritz6 interface.  Very nice.  Easy to create
opening books, and you can find a great selection of all openings at Dann
Corbit's ftp ftp://38.168.214.175/pub/ if you need raw mat'l to make a book
from, so you can make a book comprized of only the A48 opening if you want, and
practice very specific openings very easilly if you'd like.

Freeware programs like Crafty will do the same thing if you'd care to put in the
work.  It's not teribly difficult, but if you're used to having an interface to
do the work, then I'd pass on Crafty.  But it's a very good program anyhow.
