Okay, David. I just re-installed Shredder 8, and my "problem" is fixed. The version of Tablebase.eng packaged with Shredder 8 can read multi-part tablebases, whereas the version packaged with Hiarcs 9 can't. The Shredder 8 version probably isn't the newest, judging by the posts made by Manfred and Jeroen in this thread. The new version is MUCH larger, and it has a version number. Does anyone reading this message know what changes have been made to the new Tablebase.eng to justify it being four times as big as the previous version?
