How to configure TogaII chess engine for Raptor on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Yesterday I was trying to configure a chess engine for my FICS client, Raptor. My first attempt was to download Rybka, as a lot of people in the FICS community seemed to use that engine. Well, I soon realised I couldnt; Rybka only supports Windows platform. Second crack - Toga II. And thankfully, it was a breeze -
  • Download the mac binaries from the toga website.
  • Go to Raptor preferences -> Chess Engines and select the downloaded (and extracted) file.
  • Enter a nickname for the engine and click Apply.
  • Now bask in the glory of a 2900 something engine's analysis :)
