That is your quote not mine and I don't think it is correct.

"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."" >and.. >If you Open the CD you find a folder named tb's. >That's all I know. You should know more. Because if you open that folder you'll see the same thing I do. That the total is only 30 Mb and it's missing some 227 tablebases for a complete 5 piece set. >If you have the CD Open the folder and tell us what's in it. >OK? As I said above since you're the one quoting what's written in the manual you should also have the CD and should be able yourself to see what's in the TBs folder. However since for some reason you don't seem to: "What's in it" is Size: 29.9 MB (31,439,476 bytes) Size on disc: 30.0 MB (31,500,288 bytes) Contains: 63 files 0 folders So some 227 files missing from a complete set of 5 piece bases. What did you expect as I said above which you didn't address "Shredder 8 is a CD max capacity about 700 Mb and 5 piece tablebases are 7.05 GB 290 files" Sarah.
