Get this thingy: ftp://cap.connx.com/pub/chess-engines/new-approach/C18_05.ZIP and unzip it somewhere harmless (don't crunch your old work). Open the crafty1 workspace and build it. That's what I use. Notice that crafty.txt is a link order file. Won't matter much for the current MS VC++ build (though it used to help a lot) but it does definitely help the Intel build. I change some array sizes and a few other minor tweaks. So if it makes demons fly out of your nose, well -- there you are.
