Movei of today does not use tablebases but I have the same design decision for book and movei can read book only if it is in the same folder as the .exe file. I simply do not know how to tell it to read a book from another file. I may implement it if changing it is something that takes few minutes but unfrotunately with my limited knowledge in C it is going to take at least some hours to do it without help and maybe more than it and this situation does not encourage me to try it.
