As it seems not many people are interested in DTC data. Therefore you may be
right that it is easier to generate DTC from scratch using modified code of
Nalimovs EGTB generator. On the other hand it would be easier for people who
still have the Thompson data to just convert it. I think I will do some
experiments with Thompsons code - if it is so slow that a conversion is not much
faster than re-generation, I will better use the Nalimov code.
