Sorry, but you are wrong. BigBook is BigBook. It cannot be used with other
engines instead of a book while BookThinker can.

Please, reread it:

>>that has a separate book .exe that plays the book moves before
>>>the main .exe comes into action.
>>>The book .exe could be used in Arena for engines that have no book.

Only BookThinker can be used for engines that have no book.
