Hello, After a hiatus, I've dusted off my old chess program and started working on it. One of the first things I'm adding is support for Eugene Nalimov's tablebases but I've run into a minor snag. Everything works great as long as I only try to read the uncompressed tablebases, but when it tries to access a compressed tablebase I get the following message: *** Unable to read /wrk2/egtb/TB/kbnk.nbw.emd - file broken I'm using the routines off of Robert Hyatt's ftp site which have compressed support. The code seems to indicate that it will simply recognize either a compressed file or an uncompressed file, but no such luck so far. I feel this must have a trivial solution (such as not initializing a variable or some such) but I'm missing it. Anyway, thanks in advance. Special kudos go to Mr. Nalimov, for the obvious hard work. It amazes me at the quality of work that people are simply willing to give away. regards, --Tom Likens
