I checked the files I have versus what's on Bob's ftp site and you are correct -- most of the TBs I am missing are KxxxK. In fact the 4 vs 1 that I am missing are the KQxxK and KRxxK TBs, so I think you are right that they are of limited use. However, there is one glaring exception: I am also missing the KBBKR TBs. Isn't that a critical one that should be included or am I missing something?!?
