Thanks anyway, Rick. If nobody has the information for me, I'll start a table
myself, just including the files online at the moment, adding the rest when Bob
puts them back online. At the moment I have 33 GB of 6-piece EGTB's on my
harddrive, mostly KxxP-KQ (plus a few games that occurred in my own club
matches), and I still have 100 GB free.
