re:Crafy installation for those who still don't get it. - 2007/01/17 06:40
I can try to give you some help; I don't know what GUI you use but Crafty can run under Arena, Winboard and Fritz or other chessbase UI.
If you use Fritz you have only to download .eng file from chessbase site and copy it into engine directory: you'll find Crafty in engine list.
If you use Arena copy Crafty.exe into a directory and follow installation wizard selecting WB2 protocol.
If you use winboard:
1) Create a subdirectory of winboard such as Crafty1906
2) Copy in this directory book file(book*.bin)
3) Create a subdirectory of winboard/crafty1906 such as Tb
4) Copy in Tb your tablebase
5) Create a file called craft.rc
log=off cache=16M flag off hash=92M hashp=16M learn 7 book on ponder on resign 6 egtb whisper 1 kibitz 1
7) Save this file in the same directory of crafty executable. (These are my params; if you want know more about it read crafty faq in Hyatt ftp site)
8) Open winboard.ini
9) Find the string: /firstChessProgramNames={
10) Add the string: "crafty1906 log=off" /fd=C ROGRAMMIWINBOARDCRAFTY_19_03
where crafty1906 is name of crafty executable and
CROGRAMMIWINBOARDCRAFTY_19_03 is the directory where you have saved it.
11) Find the string: /secondChessProgramNames={
12) Add the string: "crafty1906 log=off" /sd=CROGRAMMIWINBOARDCRAFTY_19_03
13) Launch Winboard from "Winboard Starup Dialog", select Crafty string you have typed and play 
I hope you'll solve your problem..
