If it does, something is wrong.  I am using the _identical_ books from
the ftp site when crafty runs on ICC.  I simply copied the ICC books to the
ftp site in fact.  No reason for it to play funny at all... assuming (a) you
are using the book.bin/books.bin/bookc.bin files from the ftp machine;  (b) you
are _certain_ that the sizes match perfectly (ie no download corruption like
using ascii rather than binary mode);  (c) you have no options in your crafty.rc
file that affect the book.

v17 is _not_ compatible with older books.
