Delfi 5 UCI?

Hi Im pretty new to this Winboard stuff, I downloaded the Crafty Chess Interface about a week ago and it seems like a pretty nice interface.

One problem I have had is I would like to create some profiles. (vs Chessmater personalities) with the Delfi 5.0 Chess Engine; but when I try to use it in UCI mode it just sits there; and when I query it ("uci") for its command list I get a blank.

Has UCI support been withdrawn for Delfi?
If so does anyone know the last Delfi version to support it my 4.6 download is giving me the same results.

Thanks in advance BB.

Thanks for the reply, I may well be doing something wrong; but I have also found this GUI does not play nearly so Nicely with winboard or /winboard engines. So I need to learn to massage those better. Will look into 5.1

btw if you could copy a working copy of your Poly.ini file to the thread would be most appreciated.

Nuff said.
Ty, BB.
