Subject: Endgame CDs and Tablebases

Dear chessfriends,

some days ago I bought a German "Mephisto Shredder" release including Ken
Thompson's endgame CDs. It really was a bargain. The software did not show the
version. Well, it looks like Shredder 2, but some functions which are mentioned
in a Komputer Korner article are not available. However, the only reason to buy
it, were the endgame CDs. Unfortunately, there is very poor documentation(you
can't have everything...:)Who can tell me how to use the endgame CDs? As far as
I understood, unlike Tablebases Thompson's CDs are not primarily indicating you
the number of moves to checkmate. Is this a drawback? And: Can I tell Fritz 532
to share the endgames with Shredder?

Thanks for help, Frank
