Hi Frank,

all this is well known for me.
The point is: That way you have to set up an own WB engine with special Init
String - for every TheKing setting/personality you wanna use - and above all:
All of these TheKing engines under Arena need the valid OPK number before you're
able to use them.

Okay, I know there's the possibility to modify/expand the "OPK.vbs" (an utility
by Emil Vlasak & Jan Pletanek, for automatic handling of the OPK number) so that
the needed OPK numbers for every TheKing WB engine are refreshed all at once;
but that's not so simple.

The setup of TheKing with Wb2Uci (Pre setup method) allows switching between all
settings with three short mouse clicks inside the Arena GUI (Configure engine) -
without a need to edit any Init Strings for OPK numbers before.
This Wb2Uci configuration works fine - at least for me :-)

But generally I use WB engines under Arena without any adapter of course.

Best,
Manfred
