Press F3 to see if you have the Hiarcs engine available.

Basically, to "have" Hiarcs means to have the engine and Hiarcs-specific
accessories (opening book, database). The GUI isn't engine specific... The
switch in "Tools/Options, Version" affects the ?-Mark speed benchmark (which
engine is taken for that), but AFAIK nothing else. The name chosen appears in
the title bar and the startup screen.

If you don't see a Hiarcs engine, there could be various reasons (i.e., more
than one engine directory). Do a search across the whole drive in Windows
Explorer for *.eng files, to check if they are all in the same directory, if
engines are missing.

It should be easy to figure out... it's just the normal GUI/engine concept. You
also don't install WinBoard twelve times just because you have twelve different
WinBoard engines.
