You need to select 'cansel calculating' before you can terminate the engine. This should be an easy fix to do for the Arena programmer if someone write a bugreport. Unknown to the gui I thought this was the only way. A quick look into the adapter sourse didn't display an easy fix there. Any signal from the gui pipe (broken pipe or handle eof) should result in a 'quit' to the engine. The reason other engine terminate is because Arena kill their process, but with the adapter inbetween it only kill the adapter and it don't get a chance to send a 'quit' to the engine. Odd Gunnar
