Tablebase 1.0 is a module written to generate endgame tablebases.  Upto 4 piece
tablebase files are already supplied on the Hiarcs732 cd.  There is the
opportunity to use this module for 5 piece endgame table generation.  However
the amount of ram utilised during generation is quite large and there is a
sizeable increase in disc storage space required to store the larger tablebase
files.

I would like to generate the 5 piece tables but i do not have enough ram to do
this.

This is my understanding having read the text based files supplied on the CD.
