I've downloaded the gaviota tablebases and stored them into a folder on my hard drive, organized into 3-, 4-, and 5-men subfolders. The actual path to these subfolders is C:\gtb\gtb.cp4 and I specified this path within Critter's parameters, in the Gaviota tb path field.

My problem is that I see no evidence that Critter is actually using the tb's. The PV info doesn't display anything about tb hits, as it does with engines that use Nalimov. I've tried to set the usage to 'everywhere' and also to 'root only', but I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Carl
