Hello Nisse,
If you go back to Crafty FTP site and the TB directory you will find two files
at the bottom of the page.  Anyway download the tbexe.zip file.  It will have
all you need to compress the files.  Aftere unzipping the files, copy the
"datacomp.exe" into the directory where the tablebases are located. Then you
just give the command:

datacomp e:8192 <filename>.

This will compress the tb filename you give it.  You must do this for each file
(wtm & btm).

PS there is another table base generator available that generates them
compressed if you desire.  I think it will also come with the new Hiarcs 7.32
program.
