Opening Books

I know using engines to help decide moves is banned on here, but I'm wondering if using databases and opening books programed into them is alright. I know that the chessmaster program has a massive game and opening database, but I don't want to break any rules. Is it allowed?

Databases are allowed if you don't have to open the engine itself to generate them.

I use chessgames.com/perl/explorer and www.eudesign.com/chessops

I have found that chesslive.de works better in Internet Explorer than Firefox.
