1. Create new file in bookbuilder.
2. Import pgn file
3. Compact base
4. Create Crafty pgn.
5. Rename saved <filename>.pbs.pgn > opening.bk
5. Edit opening.bk with word processor - best/fastest OpenOffice.
6. Use find/replace and remove all '!!' and all comments until the file is clean. Save as plain text file - no word wrap.
7. That's it - you can now create an opening book for mscp from any pgn you like.
8. Best place for great collection of pgns is here >
