I did a whole wad of them using my own generator, on a P6/200 with 128mb and a
big IDE drive.  KQP vs KQ took four days, that was the longest one.  The other
classes with a pawn seem to take maybe a day and a half to two and a half days.
The pawnless ones are a matter of hours.

Why didn't you use my endgame database generator?  I sent the source to you like
a year ago.

You supposedly had some other system written by yet another guy.  How is that
one coming?
