Hi Peter
No question: the tablebases do work at me but only if
gothmog.exe and tbs are in the same drive. Yesterday
we installed Arena on the drive c: and the EGTB were
located on drive e:\tbs. And even with the having set the
gothmog.ini to e:\tbs the EGTB didn't work. We could
only solve the problem by changing the gothmog.ini file
to c:\tbs and by copying the EGTB to the drive c:\tbs.
