According to what is published by both Hiarcs and Fritz, their opening books are
specifically designed for their style of play. It is unwise to use Fritz's book
in Hiarcs and vice versa. I would assume that the other programs you mentioned
also have opening books best suited for themselves. In Fritz 5.32 there are two
books available: General CTG and F5 CTG. The difference is that F5 CTG is
specifically for Fritz, and General CTG is an all-around opening book for all
the engines in Fritz.
