I have been dealing with this for 4 or 5 days, and cannot get it figured out. A couple of people have tried to help, but i have not been able to follow what they are saying. I dont think this is too complicated, but i need help. I need to put this to bed so i can go on to other things. I have installed the complete set of 3 and 4 man tablebases that are located on the Shredder 9 disc. I am running them thru Path 1 in chessbase and the path is C:/Tablebases. I go to my computer/local disc- and there is my tablebases folder with the files located in it. I know i have the path correct, because all my commercial engines are accessing the tablebases when the time comes. I judge that by in each analysis line you will see TB= That is the tip off that the program is accessing the bases correctly. And my freeware programs like Spike, Anaconda, Aristarch, SOS and Pharaon have no trouble accessing them at all, i.e. for them all at the appropriate time TB= will show up in each of their analysis lines. I know i have some freeware programs that dont have the ability to access bases. I know which ones they are and they are not the issue. I am concerned with the following programs: List 512, which has a TB.dll file inside the engine folder, Zappa 1.1, which when i look in the config. file, it seems the path is correct, but cant access the bases, and Pro Deo, which i have no idea what to check. But none of these 3 will access the bases, at lease it doesnt show TB= in their analysis lines when it should. And I know for sure List and Zappa are supposed to be able to access the bases. Forgot one other - Ruffian 1.0.5 - cant get it to access the bases either. Is there anyone out there anywhere who can help me with this. Without telling me to put this here, and not even telling me where "here" is. I would very much like to get this out of the way so I can go to other things. One thing- please be explicit, dont assume i understand a lot of technical terms. You cant imagine how i would appreciate the help. George
