Hello Uri,
I used the "Wcrafty.exe" engine from Bob's site running in a dos box.  I'm using
Remi Coulom's wbengine.exe for the auot232 operation.  It has limitations but I
can get it to do what I want most of the time.  Crafty is using it's own book
from Bob's site.  I think it's about a 3-4 meg file.  I'm using 3/4 man
tablebases and a few 5 man tablebases but not KRPKR because I don't have enough
memory to generate it and I can't download it from Bob's site.  I believe that
one tabelbase (KRPKR) is the most important one and would make a slight
improvement in Crafty's performance.  I don't know what the difference is with
teh Chessbase version of Crafty.  I just don't like the way it acts under the
Fritz GUI.  Wcrafty is in it's normal environment in a dos window and works
great.
