I don't think you are doing anybody a favor by generating your own tables, even if they are a bit smaller. What happens is that the customer now needs to fit in your tables _along_ with the Nalimov tables. Practicly twice the space needed and one set of tables is only usable by one single engine! If you want to compete with Nalimov it's a different ball game, but then you need to publish the access code of course :) -S.
