Hi I thought I might put my old PC to use calculating the 3-4-5 Piece Nalimov Tablebases. I have started it off running a while ago, but just realised there might be a problem. When I get to calculate 5 Piece KPPKP for example would that need all of the minor tables to be on disk at once ? I was thinking I could calculate a bunch of 50 or so at a time, then compress them to the *.emd format and then delete the uncompressed originals. Can the generator program cope with the minor tables in compressed format ? I suspect not, but that means I would need a huge amount of disk space to be able to calculate KPPKP. Any clarification of this would be appreciated. Thanks Incidentally this Tbgen program makes a wonderful torture tester for your hard drive, hope my disk even survives till I get to the pawn tables !! Regards Geoff
