Impossible.  Crafty only stores learning information in book.bin.  Bookc.bin
and books.bin are just simple "suggestion" files used to suggest moves to play
before it reverts to using the normal book.bin file.

None of the above are valid.  Crafty is case-sensitive.  _all_ commands must
be entered in lower-case unless the documentation specifically says otherwise.

Any crafty command can be put in the crafty.rc file, however.  Just be sure you
have a blank line on the end, or if not, be sure the last line has a CR/LF on
the end.  Windows notepad is very bad about omitting the CR/LF on the _last_
line of the file, and that will wreck everything...

There is no "value", other than the count of how many times that move was
played, period...  and yes, doubles get counted.  Variations are ignored
and stripped out on parsing...
