Okay, it's an obsession and I should be packing!!
I'm getting ready for my two-week business trip (or "holiday" as Heinz likes to
call it) and decided I wanted to release the latest version before I left.
Heinz and Lars have been playing with it (well, actually 0.840, but close
enough). I've updated Djinn's webpages and hopefully got everything correct.
Djinn
The list of changes since version 0.828 can be found here:
0.828 -> 0.848 changes
So you can decide if you want to download it or not.
And if I'm not to late (and Heinz allows it) I'd like accept any pyramid
challenges and would also like to challenge Nullmover using the new version
(or Butcher if Nullmover already has a dance partner)
Also if Leo starts anything over the next few weeks, please use this latest
version as it is more stable than any of the previous versions released,
(at least on the machines I've tested).
Anyway, that's about it. If you do experience any problems post them here
I won't be able to correct anything after tonight, but it would still be
nice to know if things are going well or poorly.
as always, enjoy,

Tom,
I keep my Nalimov tablebases in 2 different folders. 1 folder for 3 & 4 men, another folder for some 5 men. djinn.rc would only accept 1 folder in its tablebase path. Did I do something wrong?

Hello Tom,
thanks for your challenge. So Djinn plays two games, as Waster challenged it. I think I will either continue the gauntlet with Djinn 0.840 or Djinn 0.848 will be in Tournament D with hopefully good chances.
Best Regards
Heinz

Norm,
Unfortunately, Djinn only accepts one path for now. This goes to the top of my
TODO list when I get back, thanks for pointing it out.
