The instructions for installing this book, from the Readme file ...

1. Create an empty openings book by calling Menu File -> New -> Openings book.
2. Call Menu Edit -> Book -> Import old book and select "H8.hbk".

This doesn't work with the Fritz 5.32 interface. The menu system is different
and Fritz 5.32 does not support importing .hbk format books. These instructions
only work with the newer Fritz interfaces.
