There is a python script in the directory scripts of Scid : twic2scid.py.
It seems to do what you wrote in C.
By the way I found back the ibase url : http://www.icofy.net/index.php?lc=2
>From the description :
"*Giving the chess player of each strength a free database to prepare for an
opponent or an opening system.*
This free chess games collection in PGN format, which can be downloaded by
everyone, is regularly updated and constantly manually revised."
It is pretty ok for me. Maybe a Scid DB conversion and putting the result
"somewhere" on internet could help users ? I cannot personnaly host it
because I wonder why the ISP Free.fr did not already kicked me out, given
the bandwidth I use for Scid.
