Hi Dave,

not yet - but Martin will implement this some time, I´m sure. ;-)

And I like those ´real´ books - although being rather old - much more than
simply taking thousands of GM games as source for a ´book´(?).

Now with the freeware tool FGCRW some can convert Fritz-, Genius-, Rebel-books
to Fritz format (FBK), then take e.g. ChessBase 7 (maybe even Light will do)
and import this book and export it to PGN (with those nested variants),
and now Odd Gunnars utility can make a normal PGN aout of it - really great!

Best regards,
Franz.
