I have the Lunsen database in pgn zipped.  My mate downloaded it for me.  He has
a fast dl, I only have 56k. If you can find out if it is allowed, I will have
him up load it for you!  I am not looking for any payment, even if I have to
post the thing!  From it you can generate the Lunsen book in many formats. In
ChessPartner, Chessbase, Shredder Classic...  In fact anywhere that a pgn
database can be changed into a book format!

Note:  I have the elect2002.ctg as well.

Before I forget, I will mention I tried to change the lunsen into craftys book.
It chokes on some of the underpromotions.  Then again it might be me that gave
crafty the problems....

I will find it out...
