Hello Ed,

YES, Arena of course supports ´setboard´, but only for engines with
WB2-protocol (since this ´setboard´ isn´t standard in WB1-protocol).

So now there would be two possibilities, if YOU would adapt your Prodeo:
(of course besides changing this behaviour in Arena)

1) implementing ´edit´ in your engine
2) telling the GUI, that ProDeo is a WB2-engine (for this the engine has
to give a proper answer, when the GUI is sending ´protover 2´)

Franz.
