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.
