Okay, but I thought you had said somewhere that they actually work better
compressed.  In my case, I cannot use the six piece tablebases.  Since I can use
the five man tablebases, if I downloaded the five piece file from your site and
added it to my hard drive, will this be compatible with my software, any idea of
how my extra hard drive would be used by the extra five piece endings ??

I believe Nalimov's disks for chessbase are missing some of the five piece
endings !?
