The opening book having less Gambits is something I think Mogens commented
about, and I think that his solution was to get an older Comet and use the
opening books from that.  But I think that Frank only keeps one set of opening
books for Comet in order to save space, so I guess you could use one that you
download from Gambitsoft, but I forget how old a book you can use.

Another alternative I think would be to manually add gambit lines back into
Comet's book, because when I look through the "help" in Dos Comet, it appears
that that is very much posible.  I assume, but don't know, that all of the
commands that work in the Dos Comet, also work in the Winboard version.
