The engines will not work within the CA interface. However, 99% of the CBH files
you have will be readable within CA, there should be no problems with CBF files.
Multimedia and training questions are not viewable in CA, but all game scores,
commentary, variations, etc are fine.

I know that CA used to have a print magazine (maybe they still do). They do not
issue a CD-based magazine like Chessbase does. They have an e-mail subscription
service though.
