I'm not that interested in OBK books in Fritz. Sure, it would be >nice. But the main thing is NOT TO USE IT as long as we know it's broken. I don't care what you are interested in.

No, that's not a bad advice at all. Works perfectly. The converted .obk books (new format) are just as good or bad than the converted .obk books (old format) are. Why don't you suggest Chessbase to take out the ´import old book´ command from their GUI or to include a warning message in the help file and stop bothering me?
