Try renaming the book to dbbook.bin. In my giddyness I assumed that everyone
knew how set the name of the book in the yace.ini configuration file (book_file
book.bin). An advantage if you want to keep track of several different opening
books. The download has been corrected since then. The short booklines are from
the dblearn.bin file.

No.
