The program is SUPPOSED to use the CM8000.obk if the personality's book cannot
be found.

Yes, send the personalities (or any other files) directly to me at my CCC e-mail
address.

As for Chessmaster.obk, you've got me. I have no idea what that is and it
appears that neither the program nor any of the personalities uses it. Perhaps
it is a file that shouldn't be there (i.e. a file that was in early Beta builds
and not removed from the final build).... Fascinating!
