Quirky 2.1

Yesterday I made my overview much faster without shorten the content.
Overview now 163.000 bytes, before = 252.000 bytes.

Links to TOP-250 engines are inside.
Perhaps I forget engines, without claiming to be 100% complete (which is hardly possible).

https://www.amateurschach.de/main/_engines.htm (well-assorted to release date)
https://www.amateurschach.de/main/_engines-a.htm (well-assorted to alphabetic order).

I fixed a lot of *.htm errors I produced with all the changes and updates.
htm code is now very clear (for me).

Hi there,

both engines produced "for me" problems.

Cinder:
syzygy not working.
GUI freezes during loading if I give the path for syzygy directory.

Eleanor:
nanosleep64 is required?

Hi Frank,

Cinder: Runs flawlessly here under Arena.

Eleanor: Does not run here either. Notified the author.
