Hello Jaco,

Apart from the method that Dom mentioned, I think what you tried should also
work but there may be a glitch using long names or names with spaces in the line
"Program = prodeo.exe w7 Absolute Novice Player.eng"

At least I think that happened to me when I tried wb2uci.eng in the Shredder
Classic interface. So maybe with a shorter name for the personality, 8
characters or so, it should work! But if Pro Deo cannot find a proper
personality file on that line it is replaced with an older one that is weaker
than Pro Deo 1.1 default, it plays a little bit different than the default.

I hope you get the Pro Deo engine up and running!
