You can use a function in Terra for this. It is for EPD positions but I think
that FEN will do as well.
Put the positions in a file in the same directory as Terra.exe.
Start Terra.exe in the dos window and then run the command:
testtb file-name //with the file-name to your positions
You will get two output files: FoundTB.epd (with the evaluation in it) and
NotFoundTB.epd

Before running please edit Terra.ini, set EGTB=1 and set TBPath to the path to
your TB's.
