Subject: Chess engines by the passel, but how to make them play nice together...

I have just about every chess engine made (CB engine family, Rebel, CT, Genius,
Winboard and UCI engines...)

But it is such an awful pest to make them play against each other.

Has anyone figured out a nice strategy to have all engines play against each
other in some uniform way?

Also, I discovered (much to my horror) that the Fritz family of engines will
suddenly stop and ask for a SECOND cd right in the middle of a contest.  If I am
doing a 40/2 tournament, I hardly want to wait around to fuel CDs.  I came up
with the strategy of "Change Engine" for each engine in the contest so that all
CD checks will have been performed.  Is there a better way?  Will I be asked for
a CD again anyway?
