No, what you fail to realize is that gnuchess.boo is only the file that is
used to compile the opening book. That file has no use to anybody at all
unless use plan to use the source code and compile a new program based on
Gnuchess. You can just delete that file if you want. He just needs to get
hold of gnuchess.dat, that's the opening book, it came with the program. He
won't improve his program by compiling an opening book from the rock.pgn
file that he downloaded at Hyatt's ftp (mentioned in his other post) and a
file that large cannot be used to compile an opening book with Conor
McCarthy's interface of GNUChess, and I don't feel like doing the reading
to figure out how he might be able to do the trick with the version that
comes with Winboard.
