Can someone help..
My TBs are in the directory c:\chesseng\tb
The engine executable..

Is SOS10.exe ( I renamed sos oct version) is in c:\\chesseng\\sos10
This is what is in my ini file
\"sos10 c:\\chesseng\\tb \" /fd=c:\\chesseng\\sos10
it fails to run as it assumes that sos10.exe is in c:\\chesseng\\tb ??

Does it write that it's searching for sos10.exe in the tb directory? I'm somewhat clueless as to the solution of the problem. I don't think that the number 10 is the problem. You could try removing it, but I don't think it helps. Does the october version support tablebases? It does work without the tablebase path added?
My entry looks like this:
\"SOS c:\\Tb\" /fd=c:\\Engines\\SOS
Sorry, but I can't see any problems.
Sincerely,
Mogens

You have exactly the same files and directories as me? Anyway I tried it as well, it runs but the TB doesn't work..

No idea, But perhaps only the nov version supports TBs but that (the Nov version) doesn't work for me..
Yes.
It works fine without Tbs

I added the space in my inifile and ran an endgame position. No problems occurred.

Well I've just copied my SOS to c:\chesseng\sos renamed it to SOS10. My tablebases live in g:\tb. Everything works fine. My c:\chesseng\sos contains:
sos10.exe
sos.bk
My winboard.ini contains:
\"SOS10 g:\\tb\" /fd=c:\\chesseng\\SOS
\"SOS10 g:\\tb\" /sd=c:\\chesseng\\SOS
I've used a testposition for my test:
8/8/6k1/8/8/3NB3/4K3/8 w - - 0 1
SOS (as white) finds the TBs, moves imediatly and then:
RESIGNS!
Here is the log:

Thanks people Mogen and Volker for your efforts..Could be a problem with my Tb directory ..I'll put it in C:\tb and see..

I've used a testposition for my test:
8/8/6k1/8/8/3NB3/4K3/8 w - - 0 1
SOS (as white) finds the TBs, moves imediatly and then:
RESIGNS!

Interesting..I used a NBK vers K postion to test as well..
huh? I should be glad I couldn't get the TB to work..Does this bug exist only with my directory and file settings? Or is it in all SOS oct versions?

Well..With any luck, A newer version of SOS will be released soon, so all this is moot..

I don't think it's a problem of the path to the TBs.
...
Just retested it, the problem only occurs when SOS plays both white and black. Against another opponent it works without problems.

Sorry, I can use the november version only (running NT).
I hope so.
