As long as you do not change the standard opening positions of the kings and the
normal castling rook, so that normal castling rules apply, you can play chess
960 by varying the back rank positions of the other pieces in most any chess
program.

See http://www.chesswarrior.com/frc/frcfen.html for the 960 opening positions in
Fischer Random Chess in Fen, and http://www.chessbox.de/Compu/fullchess6_e.html
for a listing of the chess 960 programs that can run under Arena.
