Marc Bourzhutsky (sp?) is currently creating 6-man files in the de Koning format
used by Chessmaster. When last I was notified of his progress (which was quite
some time ago), he had well over 30 DVDs of archived data, but had only
generated about 10% of the files. I'm pretty sure that the estimate of "over one
terabyte" is still accurate.

Since the de Koning format tends to be about 20-25% smaller than the Nalimov
format (or at least it was with the 5-man files), you can feel free to make
assumptions if you like....
