And just for the record as I play on FICS more than I do ICC. The official rule
states you can use _any_ program you would like as long as you do not join any
tournaments. Or the rating variance between the engines you choose to use do not
cause a dramatic rating drop or rise. (being <800)

If you join such tournaments, you have to use the engine that the account was
granted. Other than that, there is nothing stating you can not use any engine
you see fit.

As a general rule though in cases like these, I only use one engine per account
and if I want to switch engines I first email the "computers" account, request
the change and wait until I hear a response before using the new engine. I only
do this because there are admins like thebojo, and SuperIntellect. (odd nick
because I think he is a complete and utter moron. And has proven it in the
past.)

There is nothing stating you can't have more than one computer account. I in
fact have three....
