Christophe,

I used the site:

ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/tbgen.zip

to get the Eugene's tablebase code this morning, however, since I wasn't using
it to "code up TBs" into my program, it was a little too "how to" and not enough
"how does" for me to quickly find out what I wanted (although between it and the
Crafty source, there seems to be enough there to add egtbs to a program). So, I
guess I'll have to Email Eugene directly.

However, this site should allow you to get the files.

Good Luck,

KarinsDad :)
