No. You start it with the command
wbengine crafty.cui
for instance. wbengine.exe is Remi's program and crafty.cui is a config file for
the engine to be used. IIRC, there are some config files *.cui in Remi's
download included. I'd suggest to adapt one of these to your needs. There you
have to configure the number of the serial port to be used, time controls, start
as master/slave, ... .
At 1st sight, it had looked a bit complicated to me, but it is rather
straightforward.
Good luck to you , Peter
