Here is a workaround to use Cray Blitz as UCI engine under Arena. You need inbetween and wb2uci. It might also work as WB engine without wb2uci, but it seems more stable with wb2uci. You can only play full games, no GUI-book, no takeback, no starting positions. If it don't start calculating, first start a new game, then restart the engine.
You need 2 different inbetween.ini files for playing as black or white. But it is for example possible to run a gauntlet under Arena. Put Cray Blitz on the top of the list, configure it for playing white, und play one round. After that configure it for playing black, and add one round. You need to check the option "restart engine after every game"
You can set the time in the inbetween.ini after
hard :=
but check if the setting is working.
