Subject: Compression idea (8:1 for pawnless endgame tablebase files)

Author: Dann Corbit

Les Fernandez had an interesting compression idea that might be useful for
database files.  There is some VB code and an explanation here for an idea to
reduce the size of endgame tablebase files:

It would be interesting to get some feedback on this idea.  Will it provide the
desired compression?  If it could pack the data by a factor of 8, it would be
helpful for I/O speed and other benefits of that nature.

Perhaps it is possible to get even greater compression levels.
