Hi,

>> I have installed both  programms, gnuchess & xboard.

>>
>> If I start xboard alone, I get an error window
>>          "error:first chess programm (fairymax) has finished unexpected"
>> In the window "edit engine list" there are only listed:
>>          GnuChess, Crafty, Fruit 2.1
>> (no fairymax).
>> Is that a bug ore a feature?
>>
>> If I load the engine "crafty", I get the error message
>>          "error:first chess programm (crafty) has finished unexpected"
>>
>> If I load "fruit" ,I get the error messAGE
>>          "error:first chess programm (polyglot -noini -ec "fruit"
>>          -ed "." -uci  NalimovCache=4 -pg ShowTbHits=true)
>>          has finished unexpected"
>> Loading "Gnu Chess", I can play chess against the computer.

>> Without loading an engine xboard ist only a chess rule checker.
>>
>> Are "GnuChess, Crafty, Fruit 2.1" the chess engines?
