I have placed this file, along with all the others, in a file on my c: drive (c:\tablebases) Are all of these files fine just as they are downloaded, or do I have to do something else? I once read that I should remove the first "." in the filename. Is this true? I currently use the Fritz GUI and have Fritz 8, Hiarcs 9, Junior 8, and Chess Tiger 15 as my "commercial" engine collection. I also run Windows XP Home as my OS.
