I might have missed it, but I don't see any mention about bookc.bin in the docs.
Do i compile the bookc.bin in the normal way?

eg bookc create pgnfile ply ?

What happens if I have both book.bin, books.bin and bookc.bin?
Does Crafty automatically know when to switch to the bookc.bin? eg When the
computer command is sent through Winboard  will it only use bookc.bin?

Or perhaps it's no more than a normal book/books bin file?

Thanks

Aaron
