Subject: can someone help with some simple code for egtb probe from fen?

I am struggling with reading/understanding the nalimov code, and crafty's probe
code, and other engines use of egtb (ie. parrot).

My chompster is java, so I am good at java, and not-so-good at C,C++.

Maybe someone has a simple c/c++ program, where I can call a function, just
passing a FEN string, and get back a nice simple score and move. I am hoping
someone already has something like this lying around.

I intend to use JNI in java, so I can call the method directly. Currently,
chompster uses egtb via the lokusoft webservice, and this takes about 0.8
seconds/probe.

I can compile under linux (gcc etc).

I guess I need the c object (or whatever) to stay resident so the cache is
effective (I'll just keep a nice global handle to it).

Any help appreciated.
Scott
