One way to plug any compatible program into Winboard is to create a *.bat file
in the Winboard directory (* being your name for the program) containing the
following:

WinBoard /cp /fcp=comet.exe /fd="C:\Comet" /scp=comet.exe /sd="C:\Comet"

This assumes comet.exe in a folder on the C: drive called Comet -- you'll have
to emend as necessary.

Then just double-click on the .bat file (from Windows Explorer) and Winboard
should appear with the  specified plug-in.

Hope this helps!
