They are made from a much older version of CRAG [what I call A+B+C+D+E].  That
version did, indeed, contain all of WALL, and even ROCK, but it does not contain
all that the newest iteration of what CRAG does.  It is also not filtered as
well and has a few other flaws.  I found that the raw PGN files are downloaded
perhaps 100:1 over the CDB databases, so I stopped updating them. I also get
emails from people who download them but have no idea what they are and want me
to explain how to use them!  It does take a full night to convert a big PGN book
into a CDB file on a PII 300.
