  1. I used to have a PC and I had Scid vs PC. Now I have a Mac and I have Scid for Mac. Is it just me or is the Scid for Mac much inferior than the Scid for PC. The interface is terrible in comparison and lots of windows don't work the same way exactly and always for the worse. The commentary window.
  2. A mirror of scid-vs-pc because I don't like sourceforge - BookOwl/scid-vs-pc.

I have no experience with Mac, but have a fair amount in hooking up a chess engine (Stockfish, Critter, etc) to a Windows program I wrote. In Windows (probably Mac too), the chess engine runs in separate process and a pipeline (interprocess comunication) is set up between the engine and the program (in your case, SCIDvMac). If the engine quits for some unexpected reason, or if the process is shutdown for some reason (by the OS, say), SCID will detect it and give you the 'engine terminated' message. When SCID shuts down, or before, it will try to flush the pipeline, which no longer exists because the engine process has terminated. Stockfish and most engines are very finicky and shutdown if they do not like the position passed (e.g. if white to move, but black is in check; no kings on the board, etc, etc). If your SCID does not do the appropriate audits before calling the engine, you will get this problem. I know because I found out the hard way on my PC program. So, my suggestion is to try another engine and see if it is more forgiving, or track down why the engine is quitting: Is there some reason why your Mac is killing the engine process (or did you inadvertantly kill it)? Is there something strange about the game in the SCID db that has an invalid move/position that is being passed on to the engine? I know that SCID (and maybe SCIDvMac) has a community newslist and the developers can answer questions like this. Try and post it in that forum (if there is one). Good luck.
