Hi Jason
Do we not forget one thing: CM9 is basically intended to
run under its own GUI. Fortunately, it's also possible to
use the engine under other GUI's. ChessBase native engines
like Fritz and Shredder can't do this. Therefore a setting
should always be created under CM9-GUI and then it's easy
to convert the (then correct) parameters for use in other
GUI's. It's for these reasons I think wrong to adapt the
other way.
