Your number sounds a bit strange. There are 220 5 men files, 60 4-men files and
10 3 men files. The KxxxK 5-men files could be considered useless. However one
adds up the numbers, 230 does not seem to make too much sense. All 5-men and all
3-men would be 230, but the size would be bigger. Open a DOS command shell. At
the prompt type

cd \chess\tbs
dir > tbdir.txt


Instead of \chess\tbs, use the path, where you have installed the TBs. Show
tbdir.txt, and it will be rather easy to know, what you are missing.
