Yes I am but later. You can see "feature san=1" in the output I sent.

Believe me I have read engine-intf.html 1000 times, and this used to work.

The reason why so much time passes is Eugene's code finding the tablebases.
Others have told me that it seems to take too long, or at least longer than it
does for them. I don't know. There is _none_ of my code involved there, only
Eugene's. Maybe it is because 1) It is a portable, and it's harddrive is 4500
RPM. 2) The disk might be heavily fragmented.
