I actually have that setting in the Engines.ini file, and only crafty16.5T reads
them. The only way around was to create the "tablebase" directory.
Anyway, I can't get CometB04 to read them, it produces a log file which says
FTbSetCacheSize failed.
I don't know what to make of it. I sent an e-mail to the guys at ChessBase, see
what they say :)
