Hello Terry,

The answer about the Cache size is in "Tablebase Generator Help" where it states
"Cache SizeKB=8192". When you select a Directory and then click on "Suggestions"
you should see in the box next to "Cache size (MB): the number 8 which of course
means megabytes. When you change the path in Windows, change the Cache amount to
8i92. That is the amount listed in "Tablebase Generator Help".>

Regards,
Mel
