There is a tablebase generator but it is impractical for most people to use. It
takes too long and requires a big computer to run it. The only practical way is
to download them, or order them on CDs, e.g.:
http://jbob2000.tripod.com/bookmarkchess.htm
They come to 7.05 GB total for all possible 3-4-5 piece endgames. Of course
having the tablebases installed on your hard drive gives the best possible
enhancement for the Fritz endgame.
