Hi George,

Those lines aren't from the "zappa.ini" config file--they're from a file called
"zappa_log.txt" that gets created every time the engine is run. It records
things that zappa does when loading up, e.g., finding the opening book,
allocating memory for hash tables, finding tablebases, etc.

In the example snippet above, it shows that it's looking for tablebases in a
certain path (that I specified in "zappa.ini"), and successfully finds them.

Michael
