Only reference I can find to tablebases in the manual is 10.1.
"Tablebases are special endgame databases which allow Shredder 8 to play
five-piece endings perfectly (even find them in the search)

Please tell me the item number and page number for your quote?

Also obviously Shredder 8 is a CD max capacity about 700 Mb and 5 piece
tablebases are 7.05 GB 290 files, So clearly regardless of what is or not
written it is impossible.

And if you look at your Shredder 8 CD case/box back cover you'll see the
following written.

"* Endgame Database: Shredder 8 gives you perfect access to the endgame
databases. These contain perfect play information on all three and four piece
endings."
