Andy,

In addition to Kurt's suggestion you can convert them right in your Chessbase
program's database if it supports the .cbh format (I'm using Shredder for
instance).  I do this because Shredder Classic does not support .cbh format for
importing games into an opening book.

Create a new database with a name of your choice.

Import the .cbh files you want.  When you are finished importing them and while
in your database window using your program's top menu:

edit | select all |

Then:

file | new | create text file | pgn

Name your file and the destination you want.  This is used in Shredder.  I'm
sure any other Chessbase program that supports .cbh file extensions will offer
the same.  I don't use Chessbase Light so I was forced to discover this method
of converting to .cbh files to a .pgn format.

Dave
