This is planned.  IE it already has a list that can be used to direct a specific
named opponent to a particular "books.bin" type file.  IE I could create a
special start book called "gambit.bin" to be used when playing "hyatt" and do
this:

list SO +hyatt gambit.bin

This presumes that the "name" command is later used to identify the opponent,
something that is automatic when running on a chess server.

I plan to modify this command a bit, something like this:

list SP +name book=filename  personality=filename etc.

I have not thought of separate learning files and that is not easy to do as all
learning goes into book.bin (book.lrn is irrelevant for playing chess, it is
just for portability to other crafty users.)

This is next on my list along with some of Mike's stuff.  However, I have been
busy getting paperwork done and phone conversations completed with respect to
getting hardware for the upcoming WCCC...
