I don't see a need for them. >Jim There is another way: generating them yourself, using the Nalimov's program tbgen.exe, after reading the file readme.txt. Then you should compress them, using datacomp.exe. I did this myself for 3- and 4-man tables, and I am about to do this for 5-man tables (unless some of the readers of this forum tells me otherwise). If you cannot find the program tbgen.exe etc. I can send it to you by e-mail, if you like. Leen Ammeraal http://home.wxs.nl/~ammeraal/
