Why would I sell the database ? I collected freeware pgn games I downloaded from
the net, killed the doubles and compressed them into a an ace file.
My friends do not have CD burners and I'm not interested in buying one. I don't
intend sell CD's, I just want to get these games over to my buddy in Poland.

Btw just call me Sam
