together with the engine that can read compressed TBs.
if you type
tbcp <folder>
it will compress all the TBs available. There are different compression schemes (http://sites.google.com/site/gaviotachessengine/schemes) but the recommended one is scheme 4.
By default, the compressor will use that. type tbcp -h and you will find
Code: Select all
Compression/decompression utility for Gaviota Table Bases.
It uses different free compression algorithms. More information at
http://sites.google.com/site/gaviotachessengine/
quick example: tbcp gtb
compresses all the endgame table base files in the folder "gtb"
with the default compression scheme 2, and no deletion of the source files
usage: tbcp [-OPTION]... [folder]
-h print this help
-v print version number and exit
-L display the license information
-c compress (default)
-d decompress
-k keep, do not delete input files (default)
-r remove input files after compression/decompression
-V verify encoding/decoding on the fly
-q quiet (no output except error messages)
-i <file> work on the given individual file, rather than a folder
-s # set compression scheme (1-4, default=4)
-S compression scheme help
-n # operate on up to 3-, 4- o 5-piece tablebases (default=5)

Not only the TBs. Use swith -d to decompress. Yo can test only 4-pc TBs with the switch -n4
After this is tested to make sure everything is fine, I will release the probing code under the MIT license (X11 license, to be more accurate).
For now, there is only a version for win32, but I will upload linux 32, 64, and Win 64 as soon as I get them.
