Subject: Renaming tablebases for Dos Comet

Author: Pete Galati

Date: 12:36:31 11/26/99


In order to make my tablebases (not a large collection at all) work with the Dos
version of Comet, I needed to add "set tb_path=c:\egtb" to autoexec and I also
needed to rename all of the tablebases as in Comet's txt file: rename
kpkp.nbb.emd  kpkpnbb.emd

So now the tablebases seem to be recognized by Dos Comet, I assume that the
Winboard Comet sees them, and Crafty can also see them.

Are there programs that won't be able to use the renamed tablebases? or is that
a universal thing that they will all recognize a TB renamed that way?  Are most
programs using Eugene's code for egtb's and will that generally cover me on the
renamed TBs?

Thanks,

Pete
