Hi Uri and the interested,
  This is interesting, because my Hiarcs7.32 with the 4-man tablebases took -
18 min. to reach tablebases and the correct answer Qg3!
  Mark Young said his Hiarcs found it in about 3 min. but his hardware compared
to my hardware- AMD K6-2/266 with 64 Ram) can't make that big a difference,so
my conclusion is that he might have the 5-man tablebases. I think he been using
a 400 or 450Mhz Pentium!

Regards,Terry
