As I said, they _are_ compressed. Putting them in rar or zip formats would not make them smaller, but possibly even a bit larger. Certainly not 1/3 smaller. The emd format is much more efficient for tablebase files than zip and rar are. >Tell me what compression program extracts the .emd extension file? datacomp d:8192 sometablebasefile.emd You don't need it btw. The decompression is built into Crafty. >What has this offesive line got to do with what that? >"Hint: --"It's not[e] because they don't have .zip that they arent >compressed." Because you are still assuming they can be compressed, but they ARE ALREADY COMPRESSED. -- GCP
