You said "downloaded into several folders in the tablebase directory".  Crafty
will work with that, but you have to use the tbpath.  _and_ you have to point
the tbpath to _each_ of those folders.

Better is to simply put all the *.emd files directly in the tablebase
directory and fritz will work fine, and other programs will also.  Not many
allow you to scatter the TB files from can to can't, they want them in one
directory...

Crafty is an exception, there may be others, but there is no reason to _not_
put them all into one directory unless you have to use multiple disk drives
to hold everything (not common with today's disk sizes).
