On the Fritz6-CD there is a directory TB or Tablebases or so. In this directory
there are some *.emd-files. They work fine. The file names are sligthly
different to the names of the files of Prof. Hyatt ftp-page. If you rename the
downloaded files, it should be work.
In this directory there is also a tablebase generator. I generated kbb-kn last
night. It works. But if you have a fast internet access it is of course faster
to download them.
