When Gaviota was released there was a lot of discussion on how to do the egtb generator (that ultimately was for the benefit of 6men). Wondering if there has been work on that since or if it was still a goal? Then perhaps even 7-men. Hope everyone is well :) -Josh Hi Josh, Yes, 6-men are still part...

Hi All: Any new news regarding Gaviota EGTB progress: 1 - I have been discussing a compression scheme with him. If he decides it is a good idea, we should get about 10:1 compression so the 5 men files will consume 3.8 GB instead. Are we getting any news on that because it's very important. 2 - . Cu...
