It seems to do all right. It is nice when an extern engine can be adjusted
through the GUI.
The only thing I have notice is that in following line:

option name Show add. EGTB info type combo default at end of search var never
var at end of search var allways

Here all your variables are showing up as one word e.g. never, at, allways.
I have not any tb so I don't know if this switch work.

Another thing (possible 'bug' in CA) is that after installing the new engines
(CT and GT) I had to remove and install Yace before I could get to the
properties again. The installing program deletes the ini file where Yace's (and
all other engines) settings are saved.

I have not tested Yace so much, since it is a beta version, but I tryed it just
now against Gambit Tiger II in bliz and there was no problem.
