That doesn't sound very large, but maybe I'm not sure what it is. If it's just a large library, I don't see why something like that couldn't fit on a CD or DVD, or maybe a handful of DVD's. Anyway, eventually these tapes you speak of will not be able to hold even a single tablebase file. I'm asking about what will happen when we get to that point. Russell
