Not at all! Sorry if I let you think that...
The "good grief" was directed at myself!
I thought the Ruffian were ONLY Winboard engines and really did not know that I
could run them as UCI engines.
I immediately tried that, and it works with ShredderClassic, except that
Ruffian's book, ruffian.bok, is not taken in account.
Is there a way to use this book with ShredderClassic?

So this is a real question, no sarcasm intended!
