EGDB for chessmaster -- different EGTB's that only use wtm and not the
compliment.  I was editing  a Chessmaster EGDB script to generate Nalimov's
EGTB's and did not realize that Chessmaster EGDB did not use the btm compliment.
 So when I saw it in the script, it threw me off since I knew Nalimov's was
using the btm compliment and I coould not undestand why that would be in the
script.  Of course it is appropriate for EGDB's , but not for EGTB's.
