Hello all,

Is it possible to specify the tablebase path as the CD and hard drive? By this,
can one generate (or download) some of the 5-piece tablebases which aren't
included on the CD and put them in a folder on the hard drive and access both
these and those on the CD, without having to copy all the tablebases on the CD
to the hard drive too? This would save quite a lot of disk space. Thus, can one
specify two different tablebase paths simultaneously??

Thanks in advance for any help,

Nick Cooper
