Subject: winboard programming. Need Help!!

I try to write an interface for my program to winboard.
Rather frustrating!
I tried to write a simple testprogram, only trying to communicate with winboard.
No result.

How do I get input from Winboard and how can I output to winboard.

I also looked at crafty source but I did not really find something. (What should
I search?)

I work with Watcom C and compile for Windows NT. I thought, the Input comes from
stdin (like Auto232), but.....

I start winboard with:
winboard /cp /fcp=test.exe /fd="c:\watcom\binw\neuschach\win" /scp=test.exe
/sd="c:\watcom\binw\neuschach\win"
and both programs open. But thats it. If I send with CTRL ALT 1 nothing happens.

I am fully stuck, and that frustrates me a lot.

Any tips?
