Subject: Crafty 16.3 setup with Fritz 5.32

Thanks to Ralph E. Carter who posted his experience setting up Crafty 16.3
with Fritz, I was inspired to try it myself.  And it works fine.

My question is: Does Crafty make use of the crafty.rc file when running under
Fritz as a winboard engine? If so, then it should be possible to have the engine
use the learn.dat file and tablebases and book, etc., right?

What is interesting to me (and I am a complete novice on these interface issues)
is that Fritz allows Crafty to use its opening book as well as the hash memory
set up within Fritz.  But I wonder how Crafty feels about the whole thing, if
you get my drift?  Would it use its own book if it had access to it, as well as
its tablebases and learn.dat info, while Fritz (or any other engine operating
under the Fritz interface) happily went along with the files normally available
to it?

Thanks to all who indulge me on these questions.

Michael
