Everybody knows that there are issues in that GUI for winboard and UCI engines (namely : having to use an adapter for the winboard engines, and having to face the random 1mb bug for the UCI engines). So allowing the CB engines to use a very huge costumized book was too much in my opinion. Besides, my small book is not so bad, some engine authors are even using it as an ownbook for their engine. But I am pondering, maybe next time I will allow the CB commercial engines to use their ownbooks, we'll see :) Many thanks for your interest, anyway. Olivier
