Here is a little program I knocked-up one evening to convert
Fritz powerbooks, which are conveniently created and maintained
by ChessBase-for-Windows, into Rebel opening books.  I have
only tested it with Rebel 7, so I don't know how it works
with Rebel 6.

The source was compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ 1.52, but
should be portable to any ANSI compiler with little, or no,
work.

Unfortunetly this program can produce duplicated lines, which
is probably because of the 50 halfmove print limit it uses
(Rebel takes exception to lines longer than this); however
if you have access to a UNIX system you take fix the RBM
files thus:

	sort file.rbm | uniq > fixed.rbm

If anyone's into doing one for Chess Genius 3 then please
let me have a copy -- I haven't got the spec for the Genius
opening books.

Enjoy.
