Arena linux bugs

[pedrox]

I have tried to send a copy of this to Martin.

Arena does not send path for scorpio egt configured in the Engines/Tablebases menu. In Windows it works correctly.

Path is sent only when you enter the Tablebases menu and press the OK button.

On the other hand, if the path indicated to a opening book is too large, overflow occurs.

I had a few problems with the linux version of Arena when I last tried it some time ago.
I have never had any problems running various windows versions of Arena in linux over the years when using wine.
