Can't get crafty to work in Arena.

Arena versions.

I like the new Arena. Good job.

What is it doing? The xboard protocol has not changed and Crafty is playing every day using xboard with no problems of any kind on ICC and in my testing on the cluster...

It is working in both 1.1 and 2.0.1 on Vista here Gerold, so now maybe the question is....how did you configure it or Arena?

For example Crafty 19.17 SE came with that Speak.exe feature iirc. It is in a subfolder of the engine called winboard.

Are you sure that you have configured Arena to be using the Crafty exe and not Speak.exe?

Ok that may be the problem. All the last ones i try to run from the
winboard folder.
Thanks.
