The opening book will work for both the Window's version and the Linux
version. The opening book can also be generated manually if you
have a slow connection and don't want to download the book. The
User's Guide has the necessary information for creating an opening
book.

Thanks to Djordje Vidanovic, Djinn now has a new and improved opening book--
for both Windows and Linux!
Tools, Scripts etc.
I'll be adding more to this section soon, but to start off with--here's a perl script I've found useful.
- pgn
- This script tracks the progress of engine vs. engine matches.
Run it without any options to get a summary of its capabilities and
operation. As an example of its output here is the results of a 100-game match between PostModernist and Phalanx.
