[Scid-users] cbh2sci is available

[Gregor C. <gc...@gm...>]

cbh2sci is available, a command line tool which converts
ChessBase databases to Scid databases.

For the installation of this tool the project Scidb has to be fetched:

  svn co https://scidb.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/scidb/trunk scidb

The latter argument is the destination directory. The installation
is as usual:

  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install

Hopefully "cbh2sci --help" will clarify the usage.

Please send bugs to the bug tracker:
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=307371&atid=1294797>.

For feature requests there is another tracker:
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=307371&atid=1294800>.

I had to come up with something for a (nearly) one-to-one mapping.
Possible improvement suggestions are welcome.

Note: The emulation of the .si4 format is relatively complex
(Scidb's own .sci format is quite different), and not yet very
well tested. A more extensive test is required.
