The tables are generally kept in compressed form, which means that .emd is _critical_ to the probe code knowing it is dealing with compressed data... You might download Crafty's source and use the egtb.cpp code from it, it is a known-to-be-working version from Eugene. >So, could someone either give me 'current' example code of tbindex.cpp or >explain how I can read the .emd files correctly it would be appreciated.
