From Dr. Hyatt's ftp site!
I used the winboard.eng from the CB site, and renamed it Crafty 16-3.eng, and
proceeded from there. I adapted the .init file from the "Crazy Bishop" download
from the CB site.
On the "command line", or somewhere, I presume I can set the usual crafty
parameters, including "hash=", "hashp=", "egtb", etc. And I think it would be a
good idea to use a REAL crafty book.bin WITH the learn.dat.
After I got it running right, I became busy with other things (Hiarcs 7!).

I count crafty as one of the intelligent programs. I think it is an especially
good defender.
