I can't really picture it not working, if you replaced the top part of the goliath ini file with what I have here, it's just stuff that I really just copied & pasted from the last version (not much had changed) and it worked on the new version, are you talking about this ini file (?): HASHSIZE =7 ;[0 - 64 MB] SELECTIVITY =N ; [N or HIGH] SPECIAL =N ; [N, A, B, or E] ------------------------------- BOOK =ON LEARNING =ON LOG-FILE =OFF ------------------------------- Or do you mean the Winboard ini file (?): LG2000a /fd=C:\\lg2000a & LG2000a /sd=C:\\lg2000a In which case, you might have your little Goliath in a different directory than I do, but you have to adjust the lines so that Winboard can find the program. So taken apart, the line that says: LG2000a /fd=C:\\lg2000a, "LG2000a" is the program's exe file, "/fd" says that it's the first engine, and "=C:\\lg2000a" says where it is located, mine is at the c:\lg2000a directory. But note the double \\ in the path info, that's sort of tied to it's being a C program, so the first "\" just tells the program to pay attention to the next character (in this case another \, a special character). Or if I structured that a little bit different, like this for Lamb Chop: \"Chop -xboard -hash 5\" /sd=c:\\Chop710 In that case, Chop has some command line parameters that are kept track of by surrouding them with " " but because those too are special characters, they have to be proceeded with \ so that Winboard sees them, you could apply that whole style to LG2000 like this: \"lg2000a \" /fd=c:\\lg2000a & \"lg2000a \" /sd=c:\\lg2000a Pete
