Hi Helmut,

While this link is interesting (i did not know there was a public server with
the six pieces egtb availble) it is not what I was talking about.

I was talking about a SOAP Web service where engines (during play) could poll
the egtb. Off course this polling would have to be near the root only (not to
say at the root only) because Web service access is way way slower than HD
access.

Something like this : http://www.lokasoft.nl/tbapi.htm
