I can answer your first question: yes I believe you can. At least you
can open any CADOS, PGN, CBF and CBH file in CA4 and then save as a new
database CAWIN format. It will take some time though but it will certainly
speed up your search process :-) But to be honest with you - I haven't tried
to do this with _commented_ CADOS files. Maybe that won't work but youl'd
better try this out yourself.

As for your other questions: send them to CA support!
<support@chessassistant.com>

They usually answer any questions within a couple of days.
