Hi Uri,

I think that your problem with Rybka was in spaces within its name. Today I have
instaled Polyglot 1.3 and descovered the trick:

So, if Rybka´s name was:

Rybka v.1.0 Beta 32 bits.exe

you have to change it to something like

Rybka-v1Beta-32.exe

Not only spaces, I avoid now even dots because I think that more than one dot
also gives problems.


Hi Fabien,

It would be nice if you and/or Alessandro could give us a good book menager, and
FRC support.

All the best.

Pedro
