Thanks, but Dr. Bob Hyatt and Dann are the experts.

Go to the Crafty site (Bob's) and download the book.bin
and books.bin (and the crafty.doc if you do not have it)
from the v16 directory.

A second option (when you have time) is to go to the same
site and download the enormous *.pgn's from the "common"
directory.  I think this is Dann's book and Dr. Hyatt has
been using it lately (I have to).  :)  You will also need
start.pgn to build books.bin (see the documentation).

Dann Corbit's site has the pgn files a.zip, b.zip, ...
You will need to download all of them, unzip and
concat to create an enormous book.  Dann may have this,
he can give you better instructions.

Dann also has a file called NT-BIN.zip.  This has a version
of Crafty 16.x (16.15 I think), the very large book.bin and
books.bin and winboard 4.02 ready to go.  You may want to just
download that .zip file, open it, create the crafty.rc file
I gave you and away you go.  But read Crafty.doc for more
specifics and winboard FAQ if you use it.

Best Regards,
Chris Carson
