Maybe Dan or somebody else can help...

With Scorpio 2.0 (date: end 2007 ), I have no problem in 5-man bitbase access, even with the new (Dann Corbit compressed - 223 MB) bitbases and the v3.3 egbbdll. My test is mostly in 32-bit.

I wanted to test with the more recent Scorpio 2.7 version.
I use the Fritz 11 and Shredder GUIs.

Since Scorpio is Winboard, you have to use Wb2uci and Wb2Uci.eng
The Scorpio configuration file, scorpio.ini defines the
#path to egbb
egbb_path C:\egbb\

Note that if you skip the last \ , the path is not recognized!

I shut off all access to Nalimov GUI access and used the 5-man position
8/8/8/8/5kp1/P7/8/1K1N4 w - - 0 1 ; bm Kb1-c2; dm50
(only solution Kc2, never found without tables or bitbases)

Well, with version 2.7 of Scorpio (the latest), and for that matter any version later than 2.0:
_ on infinite analysis, no output, depth stays at 1
_ on "compute", I get the immediate move (correct move, "depth 1" eval?)
Analysis by Scorpio 2.7:
1.Kc2
= (0.00) Depth: 1 00:00:00

as compared to the correct
