I think endgame databases are cool, and if I were going to distribute something that was designed for strength, I would include support for them, assuming I got permission from Eugene. This program is going to be fairly strong just because it will have most of the important pieces present, but I don't think it would gain much from having endgame tables, and it would get bigger and more complicated. I'm already having to restrain myself from adding tricky stuff. bruce
