Ok, I see. That's different from the learningfiles of the type that Shredder and
 Hiarcs uses.
When playing engine games I use the chessprogram8 (Fritz etc), and always books
ctg books. This goes for Fruit and other UCI's too. Using individual books for
each engine and book-learning on, the learning is applied to each book, but not
the engines.
