I think you just have to add the "w#" parameter in the command line after
"prodeo.exe ". For instance, w7 = 100 MB (see readme.txt).

[ENGINE]
Name = Pro Deo 1.1
Author = Ed Schroeder
Filename = rebeluci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program = prodeo.exe w7 rebel.eng
InitString = BookOff/n
LevelExtend = none
Analyze = false
UseUndo = false
Logfile = false
LevelType = 2
SimulateHint = true
TerminateHard = true
; In WIN XP or Win NT  TerminateHard = true
Protocol = 0
Visible = Ponder,Logfile,Extras

[EXTRAS]
AntiGM=setvar antigm|spin|0|0|3
Playingstyle=setvar playstyle|spin|2|0|4
Strength=setvar playstrength|spin|2|0|2
Personality=setvar personality personal\%s.eng|combo|Rebel|Rebel|Q3 - Tactical
Engine|Opening|Midgame


Of course you may want to change some settings, i.e. to use Pro Deo's book
(extending an CTG book if existing), disable the InitString line by
";InitString...". There are more personalities in the personal folder than I use
here. By default after the installation, the wb2uci.eng file offered only
Rebel|Rebel|Rebel... Note that the "TerminateHard" setting is OS dependant.

I didn't have problems with Pro Deo's hash size, neither in Arena nor in Fritz,
on different computers, with setups like that (IIRC I was using it as a WB.
engine in Arena).
