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??
