this crafty.rc file works for me ..I did find it best not have "keeper" to close
"krafty" and krafty shoud be first ...

krafty jek
xboard
speech on
mt=1
tbpath=d:\tb
egtb
cache 8M
hash  48M
hashp 12M
keeper off
book random 1
book width 5
sd 3
learn off
ponder off
noise 500
draw accept
draw offer

exit
<blank line after exit to ensure return>
============================

obviously you may want to change some of the settings, but do not have "keeper
off" right after krafty ..to confirm start in console mode and type "infox" ..if
you want keeper on, there is no need to even include it since it is the default

Best,

Michael
