  2. The Nirvana version 2.2 32-bit release returns the error message "Not a valid win32 application". Yet the binary file also refers to not running in ms-dos mode.-??? Please advise.

  3. The engines run only on my 64-bit machine under Windows 7, but do not appear to be fully UCI compliant. Typing uci after load returned nothing....
