We have added this to the specification. Every unknown command or command at the
wrong time should be ignored. If you design your engine or GUI carefully you
never need to send a 'stop' just in case. In UCI the GUI always knows what the
engine is doing, this was one of the design goals.

Yes, those are compatible but are too big to download.

What do you mean?

This should work. Did you register the GUI AND the engine in Shredder Classic?
