If you are talking about the opening book editor, CM6K does have one but it is
not as user friendly as other programs, but still can get the job done. So
Komputer Korners comments can sound misleading if you thing by what he said it
does not have one. As for the other thing he mentions, no it does not have that
and if yolu thing that is a problem for analysis, then I have never had the need
for that feature yet, but maybe you might.

I suggest you buy it and have a look then judge for yourself, I along with many
other people underestimated the program, So do not be like some and rubbish it
without looking at it. And yes I know you did not rubbish it, but I hope you
understand that is what alot of people do, rubbish it without looking at it.
