that is just the way I have broken them up on the ftp box into directories, so
there won't be such a huge number of files in one directory making a listing
really long.

42p means 4 pieces for one side, 2 for the other, the p means that at least one
of the 6 pieces is a pawn, possibly more.  ie KRBKRN is a 33 file (no p as
there are no pawns) while KRBKRP is a 33p file...

hope that helps...
