Subject: Has Anybody got the Brainy.zip file from Dan Corbitt's site?

Hello Everyone,

Some of the more longstanding members may remember me from some years ago when I
wrote a chess program called Rabbit. I have recently decided to revamp Rabbit
and to this end I want to get hold of the Brainy-SOC EPD library, which is
available for download at Dan Corbitt's FTP site, for use as an opening book for
Rabbit, as the old book, being hand built, is way too small. However, a year ago
I moved from my old home in London to a beautiful but very remote Hebridean
island, where there is no broadband internet, a luxury I took for granted when I
lived in the city. Worse still, the local telephone exchange is not even on the
same island, so I have a very slow and often unstable dial-up connection, and I
am unable to keep a connection open long enough to download the 43 MB zip file.
I understand that there are several other chess programs that use this EPD
library for their opening books, and I would be very grateful if someone who has
the file would be prepared to split it into smaller chunks, zip them separately
and email the separate zip files to me. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Roberto
