Opening book for HoiChess ?

[Olivier Deville]

HoiChess needs book.dat as an opening book. There is no such file in the HoiChess package, and I did not see in the documentation how to make one.

Hi Jim

Thanks for the hint

Guenther sent me the big book by Dann Corbit, so I'll keep this one since I am lazy
