Thanks! I just had a quick look, I will try to look deeper later. As an wb-engine-author: - It's a nice feature that you get the inifile up when clicking on configure engine. I would have liked that this feature in addition check the file extention and if it is .exe it start the program instead of opening it in notepad. Why! Then an engine-author could write a simple dialogbased program to configure the engine and the engine would look very nativ for the gui. - When writing an installation program for my engine I was a little confused that the engineproperty was named ArenaBeta2 in Arena. Is this a bug or is it meant to be like this. Also I didn't understand what the third field in the engine-entry should be, set it to '0' seems ok though. - When a user resign the result (or resign) isn't sent to the engine, but it proceed with pondering. As a user: - Nice pieces, board look. - You can't resign when engine thinking but have to wait for it to play a move. - Missing tooltip when the mouse was over a tool button. I'm a busy right now but will test more this weekend. Odd Gunnar
