I think that I read somewhere that if you have Shredder that you need to contact
the company with your serial number (or something like that) and then they'll
send you some info about how to use Shredder with Winboard.  And since nobody
ever speaks up and says how to use Shredder with Winboard, it may be something
that each person needs to do different depending on what copy of Shredder they
have (but that doesn't seem right does it).

Myself, I wouldn't be willing to pay for the cost of Shredder in order to get
probably the strongest Winboard engine.  But has anyone ever heard whether
Shredder is as strong playing through Winboard as it is playing through it's own
interface?  Actually, I've never heard about Shredder being included in any
Winboard tournaments, I don't know why.
