 Hello Lin,

Franz Huber posted a workaround for Fruit trial version and Arena. I tested
Fruit in ChessPartner and that worked well, Shredder Classic and Chessbase
should also work.

 Best,
 Eelco

Hi Joachim (and all other Fruit fans)!

I´ve just found a simple trick to run the Fruit 2.2.1 trial version under Arena:

Don´t use directly the ´Fruit2.2.1.exe´ but start Fruit by a batch-file!

So the steps are:
1) create a batch-file (e.g. ´Fruit221.bat´) in the Fruit folder with the
following content (only the FULL name of the Fruit-EXE):

Fruit2.2.1.exe

2) now create a new UCI-engine under Arena: when being asked for the engine
file, go to the Fruit folder and select the file ´Fruit221.bat´ instead of
the EXE-file (or enter it manually).

That´s all - works perfectly ... :-)

Regards,
Franz.
