For Rebel it´s MVS, and for WChess BIN (although I can´t test this since
I´ve never had WChess).

One problem might be, that all Rebel book contain a few illegal book lines
(as a kind of copy protection). I´ve just converted Rebel6.mvs to Rebel6.fbk,
CB6 didn´t say that anything is illegal when importing it, but PgnSplit
reported 4 errors - would be interesting to know, what PgnSplit does in this
case (probably ignore the bad lines)?

As you see, I´m fully working, so up to now I had no time to test the
Fritz4.abk - but I´m sure, it´s a good book.

And now it´s really ´bed-time´ here, ;-)
bye, Franz.
