If you are just interested in the numbers (instead of being interested in the
coding), you can download the .tbs files. I think, they are on Renze's site (you
can find an URL on Aaron Tay's WB-FAQ site in the TB article). You could also
use yace, and typé:

log tbstat.txt
tbldir c:\tb
create_b
exit

Which will show you the longest mates and some .tbs like statistics for all non
trivial 4-men TBs. Other programs like Shredder or Wilhelm might be able to do
the same things.
