Hi All, I recently rewrote my old engine bodo (as seems to be the fashion these days) from scratch, and I have only coded in UCI support at the moment, since it looked like 10% of the work for me to implement the winboard protocol. I have the latest Arena installed on my computer, and my engine has no trouble running engine vs engine games, or analysing a position. What I used to do with my old winboard engine was to have a dedicated machine playing 24/7 on ICC. On startup, a batch script with the relevant command line parameters was kicked off, and my engine would then automatically play unattended on ICC. I would like to know whether this is possible or practical with Arena? What are other peoples setups? So far I have failed... I tried running Arena with the "ics" command line parameter, and it runs and pops up a big dialog box asking me to connect. I had arena startup with my new chess program as its "fcp". Is there an easy way to make the program automatically connect using a certain profile at startup? I checked every option I could see for the profile settings, and also looked at the other command line arguments, and didn't see anything which could help me. Joel
