It also has a joseki book with all published lines in english, entered from
books (about 60K positions).
and for the non-go players out there, this is useful, critical, and
very difficult to use correctly. without joseki sequences, 19x19 games
can effectively end in the first 30 moves or so.
joseki sequences can have optional lines, and which line to take
depends upon the rest of the board, if more than a few stones have
been played, which generally means having some kind of fuseki idea.
it's the equivalent of a book for openings in chess, except that
instead of forced responses, it merely gives highly suggested
responses, some of which depend heavily upon stones elsewhere in the
board (ladder breakers, direction of play in a nearby corner, etc.,
etc.).
the fact that david has coded so many of these up is very impressive.
to see how hard this is, take a peek at the well-known 3-volume joseki
dictionary and just start reading.

I recommend taking a look at Rin Kaiho's Dictionary of Basic Fuseki.
