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. [snip]
