Hello James,
Yes, I compressed all the files and everything is working fine(As far as I can
tell).  Now I need to start on some of the 5 man tablebases.  It took about two
hours and 45 minutes to generate all the 3/4 man tablebases on my computer.  I
don't know how the 5 man tablebases will work out.
