This is very difficult to say. Most of the important once are those with K?P vs KP. The promotion of 'P' would then require that you also get the additional five-fold tablebases. Therefore, get them all, that's the way to go. Otherwise, just ignore them. Disks are extreemly cheap. $160 for a reasonable 80GB Maxtor 5400 rpm with ATA/100 interface is not too expensive. If you have a slow connection, you can buy those table bases pretty cheap on a couple of CDs. I forgot the link but I am sure someone at CCC will know. Gregor
