Here's what it says in FEG.TXT (which I assume you also have access to) in
reference to differences between currently available formats.

-----------
Nalimov's format has KxyKz and KzKxy merged. Eg in KRBKQ the wins for White
(KRB) are stored as well as the losses for White. In Thompson's and De Koning's
White can only win or not win.
