I have some ChessBase-format database files, and I would like to convert them to PGN so that linux-compatible programs (like scid, chessdb, etc.) could read it. Since I am running on linux and not windows, I can't use that workaround that involves downloading ChessBase Light then converting from there. However, I really need to use those files.
