I would actually appreciate that very much.  My computer time when I go home
from work is dedicated to position analysis now, and I don't want to waste a
full night making CDB files.

The games were classified by EXTRACT, and goes down to the variation level.
There could be some screw-ups in the ECO classifications.  They are really
classified by ECO codes, and if you find any mistakes, please let me know.
Also, some that were preclassified by humans might be goofed up also.

In addition, if someone has a contribution, they can upload it.  But the things
I would post are only the following:
1.  PGN which is NOT already in my collection as a subset
2.  Crafty related materials
3.  Winboard related materials
4.  CDB related materials

I am not particularly interested in other chess playing programs, as they can be
collected at other sites.  I am not particularly interested in other database
formats, as only PGN is really very universal.  Once my database is complete, I
may post that.  However, I may have to use CD's to distribute it since it will
be several gigabytes and it is more than a year away.  I also plan to make
crafty hooks available so that it is available to that program.

If you post anything illegal to my uploads directory [and you can't download
from there anyway] I will not only delete it, but also block access from your
domain to my site.
