The other day I posted the following:

Well today I discovered that there are two ini files in the C:\Program
Files\ChessPlanet Directory. They are called Engines7.ini and EngOpt.ini. Well
it turns out that you can configure other Chess Engines (Winboard & UCI) to work
in this Chess Assistant Club Interface. You can also setup the default directory
for Tablebases. There are still engines that I have not gotten to work, so any
help others could give would be enjoyed. So far I have gotten Ruffian, Fruit,
and Crafty working.

To get other quickly started just take a look at the EngOpt.ini and MOD the
"Last" few lines.

Exsample:

[Programslist]
Count=5
ChessProgram1=Ruffian|C:\ProgramFiles\Arena\Engines\Ruffian\Ruffian_105.exe|8|30000||8|0
ChessProgram2=Fruit|C:\Documents and
Settings\AdmX\Desktop\fruit_21\Fruit_21.exe|6|30000||8|0
ChessProgram3=Crafty|C:\Crafty SSE\crafty1919sse2.exe|8|30000||8|0
ChessProgram4=Delfi||10|30000||2|0
ChessProgram5=Dragon||9|30000||8|0

Note: Make sure your Count variable = number of engines you have. So if you had
10 engines setup then the Count= should also be 10.
