Since I only installed The King with BookThinker ten minutes before posting,
it's still early days and I only used the default Thinker/Thinkerboard book.

But I would recommend visiting
http://www.geocities.com/thechessthinker/download.htm. The ThinkerBoard package
includes the latest version of BookThinker and Makebook. Makebook can be used to
create an opening book from your favorite pgn collection, eg. typing

Makebook -plydepth groovy.pgn

in a dos box. For some peculiar reasons - perhaps faulty pgn - my experiments
have covered the range from 7KB to 3MB. Something to work on later.

Many thanks to Lance Perkins for this excellent contribution.

I'm afraid I'm a strict "default" kinda guy. There's bound to be something in
writing somewhere, so try searching.
