Hello Terry,
I think you should ask Ed aboutthat.  I think that all 3 modes allow Rebel to
look at the EOC or CAT whichever you have loaded.  It's just that book takes the
moves as "book moves" and "Strong" relies more heavily on the EOC/CAT than
"Moderate".  I have no idea how Ed draws the line between the two.
