I'm expecting to add Linux to one of the partitions in my new HD. I'm also expecting to have a 2Gb partition for tablebases (a luxury to me). What I'm expecting to do is to format the tablebase partition with Dos' format, might not even put them in a directory, the tablebasas could just go in the root directory for all I care. Will there be any reason why Chess programs in Linux _won't_ be able to use those tablebases when they're on a Dos formated drive? My guess is that it _won't_ effect anything, because they're on Linux when I download them, and they work ok in Windows and Dos. Is there something that I'm misunderstandings here? Also, is there an easy way that I can rename a large block of tablebases, so that I could also use them with Dos Comet? For example; "kbkp.nbw.emd" needs to be renamed "kbkpnbw.emd" (that one "dot" needs to be removed) in order for me to use them with Dos Comet, but even though this _almost_ seems like the sort of thing that would be right up Dos' alley, that extra "dot" is something that just gives the old 16bit Dos commands a case of brain freeze. Would that have to be a job of renaming them one at a time? Thanks. Pete
