Hello Jay, I think a lot to be said for that but there may be practical and
commercial reasons for Jeroen and Vasik. I don't have any Chessbase programs and
also not bought Rybka, but I can believe that for Jeroen, Chessbase has the best
options for his bookediting work. That was why even Pro Deo ran in Chessbase GUI
in Leiden the last years, something almost amounting to blasphemy... If I may
use that word... So in fact we have a de facto industry standard for bookmakers
that is not free, and because it is not, converting a ctg book to another format
is not easy. Not much to be done about it I think...

 Regards, Eelco
