Thanks for your quick response, Robert. Regarding CD distribution of the 4Q tablebases, I am more than willing to do it provided that (1) All parties involved give me permission to do it; and (2) I receive one copy of the tablebases on CDs. I can burn the duplicate CDs and mail them to a few people on the World Team to take that burden off the developers' shoulders. Please keep me posted on your progress with integrating Crafty and the 6-piece TBs.
