Jim.
Hi Jim, his idea has been great for crafty and other engines give more comfort to the less advanced user.
You can try this and avoided much work, in fact in Fritz works.
In source option.c add "threads"
I chose the crafty-25-uci-ja 32 bit ponder off 2 core
and got the files :
crafty-25-32-ja.exe (Winboard exe)
crafty-25-32-uci-ja.exe (uci exe)
crafty.rc
wb2Uci.bmp
wb2Uci.eng
wb2Uci.exe
But double-clicking on the uci exe file (crafty-25-32-uci-ja.exe)
did not work (on go infinite, I just got the response: info depth 1 score cp 1).
I suppose some parameters have to be set...
How do you use that crafty-25-32-uci-ja.exe ?
(I know I could run the winboard exe in Fritz, using Wb2Uci.eng and Wb2Uci.exe, but I want to use your uci exe)

Thanks, Jim, indeed that works !
Question : How do you indicate the Nalimov path?
I modified crafty.rc for that, and indeed I got hits (blinking) on my Nalimov USB stick (but no tb=xxx numbers indicated in the Fritz GUI, is that normal?).
But when I looked at the crafty.rc after that, it was back to the original unmodified crafty.rc (the one with tbpath=d:\progra~1\arena\nalimov)

It won't report tb hits, but I verified it was accessing the egtb on my machine. It also supports multiple paths. However after each game the crafty.rc file got deleted.
