Tablebase Open, readonly mode #221

Open jodavies opened 7 years ago

jodavies commented 7 years ago

Hello,

It seems there is no way to open a tablebase in a readonly mode, so that one can open tablebase files to which one doesn't have write privileges.

(Attempting to open a read-only tablebase file leads to Could not create a new file with name foo/bar.tbl)

It would be nice to be able to guarantee that a tablebase file is never modified by a form script.

Thanks, Josh.
