Hello Alex,
I was just trying to point out that Crafty should be using the "Official" Crafty
book whatever that is.  ChessPartner will let Crafty use it's own book.  I have
downloaded a book from Bob's site and Crafty uses it in Chesspartner with no
problem.  I just think that Crafty should be stuck with whatever book is
provided with it as it is really a part of the program.  It's just my opinion
but I believe that the book is part of the program.  I don't doubt that Crafty
will play better with a better book.  I don't doubt that almost any program can
improve with a better book than they have at the moment.
Jim
