Scidb is providing an export dialog: open the database and use the context-sensitive menu (right mouse button) over the database (in the database window) which you want to convert, select "Export...", and choose the export format. Currently the export dialog provides the conversion between all the following formats: .sci, .si3/4, .pgn, .cbh. Only conversion to .cbh is not possible, ChessBase keeps the format of the .cbh database secret, no one knows how to write a ChessBase database. Reading a ChessBase database is a result of trial and error. Furthermore a command line tool with name 'cbh2si4' exists, which is converting from .cbh to .si4. This tool is dedicated to Scid users. Consult the man page 'cbh2si4' about the usage. Of course the use of Scidb's export dialog is a more cozy way to convert from .cb4 to .si4. -- Gregor Cramer email: <gcra...@gmx.net>
