RE: [Bug-gnubg] documentation: I don't understand the usage of thebear-off-database

[macherius]

Frank,

Hugh Sconyers’ "BEAROFF EQUITIES AND BACKGAME PROBABILITIES" [1] is a
commerical product ($100) and consists of 12 DVD. It is not related to the
database you downloaded, which in no way can replace the commerical
database.

The database you downloaded is a regular gnubg bearoff database and can be
used [2] very much like the smaller ones that ship with gnubg.
