Hi Jonas,

>>Hi Robert, i need your help about the tablebase in your ftp. I download the
>>folder FIVE and this have 7GB!! of information (a total of 10 CD of 700 Mb).
>>Now the 9 CD of Nalimov tablebase contain the 3, 4 and 5 pieces final.

there is a difference, some Nalimov collections are without the 4+1 stones, some
or with them - afaik Bobs collection on the server has the 4+1 stones. Usually
you need 12 CDs for all 3,4+5 stones. Other collection are somehow incomplete.

>Any posiblity of making TB's readable from .zip files?
>(maby a stupid quetion, but it would cut the sizes in half)

The Nalimovs are already compressed... but for fun I have tested it, it get's
nearly a half percent out of them... impressive... :)

Greets, Thomas
