Hi, Graham.
FireFly (if i remember ) needs some files that ar absent. Like an ini file, openings books etc
Do you have those ones?

It is a UCI engine, so the options will become available when loading it.

Its an XBOARD/uci engine, so those xboard files are needed. Im not use Uci protocol. Im using uci engines with polyglot under winboard

It requires a file named FireFlyStart.txt. The contents of that file as I use it is as follows:

egtbpath F:\Sakk\TB
poshash 256MB
pawnhash 16MB
*ignoreucihash
*usebitbase
