dream on(regarding "should appear soon").

There are currently several large corporations that have disk arrays
capable of holding one of the pawnless 8 piece endgame tables, so
I expect that they will eventually be practical to build.. but not soon.

Which leaves open the question of which 8 piece table to build first,
assuming that you can get IBM or Sun to sponsor your project :)
KRNB vs KRRB ?
