No, he is asking about a strange winboard engine, that is called BigBook, it is
not a book, just an engine called like that, the engine simply dissapeared, but
it was avaible for downloading from a FTP server, the engine was VERY weak,
about 700 elo points, you can find more information at:
wbec-ridderkerk.nl then click on Info Engines A-L, then search for an engine
called BigBook
