Hiarcs 7.32 CD hasn't got all 5 pieces tablebases, as it uses at least four
CD-ROMs to hold them (CB sells them on 4 CD Roms anyway, but I suppose all are
around 6 Gb, so roughly 10 CD Roms (uncompressed?))

There are a few important ones on the Tbs direcory.
If the path is set correctly in your c:\windows\chssbase.ini file you should
notice Hiarcs won't analyze a move, but give multiple options to an ending
instantaniously.

There is however a tablebase generator coming with Hiarcs 7.32 which lets you
generate any 5 piece you want. Could take some time though.
