Yes, but as it stands now, depending on what import options you choose, the
process can take QUITE a long time. The book that I mentioned was based on about
140,000 games, and the process took about 2 1/2 hours. That was choosing the
slowest options, though (maximum of 40 plies, and removing all moves that were
only played once).
