For auto seeking after a game has been played you need to create aliases on FICS for example alias gameend seek 2 12 alias gameend2 seek 5 12 alias gameend3 seek 15 After you have done this you need to set up Arena to send the gameend commands after a match in the Connections -> Options box and set the number to 3 if you have set up 3 alias gameend commands like above. As for auto matching other engines you are going to have to do that manually. You could do a alias gameend rematch that offer an auto rematch after each game. > >I think if I'm at my computer i could just type in "seek" manually, >but the point of me having it on FICS is so it can play a >variety of players without me needed to be there to set it up. > >Can someone either point me to some documentation or HOWTO's on >this if they exist, or give me some pointers? > >Thanks, >Eric Oldre
