Paul, I read your instructions, and I tried to carry them out with Fritz 8 (the latest GUI update). The database window offers .CTG as an input format, but it doesn't work. I also tried the same procedure with Chessbase 8, and it also doesn't work. But I have a question for Bob Durrett. Even if it were possible, why would you want to do it? When an opening book is generated from a database a lot of information is discarded. First of all, the lines are truncated to a "sensible" opening length, depending on the preferences set. Secondly, all the details about the players is eliminated. And the win-loss details are coded into the statistics. So, what's the point? Why not just get a good database? Chessbase's megabase is a good starting point, but if you're interested in openings study you'd probably be better with Chessbase's Openings Encyclopedia CD.
