This file should be named Shredder 8 UCI.UCI and placed in the >ENGINES folder,
NOT in the Shredder8 folder.    If you dectivate Shredder 8 and then added the
UCI engine - edit the text file in the >ENGINES folder - changing the "Name" to
"Shredder 8 UCI" (from "Shredder 8") and then you will be able to use both at
the same time.  You may also have to change the name of the file to "Shredder 8
UCI.UCI" from "Shredder 8.UCI"
