This might help you understand the problem. I copied the text from the changes
log:

Winboard Plus 4.0.8-- Sat Aug 5 15:51 PDT 2000 Mark Williams
<markcpa@pacbell.net>

* Bug fix release.

* Main menu now visible in Win NT.  Thanks to Microsoft for creating a C++
  compiler which auto-generates .rc files which display the menu under Win 98
  and hide the menu under Win NT.  I fixed the problem by hand editing the .rc
  file.  Sigh.

* "Reset game" now works properly when invoked from Analysis mode when two
  engines are present. Correction of bug introduced in Winboard Plus. Thanks to
  Mogens Larsen for reporting the bug.

* Pasting a FEN position with Black to move now works in all modes.
  Thanks to Mogens Larsen for reporting the bug.

* Added gnuchess.dat to the distribution and a couple of text files that were
  missing in 4.0.7.

Best wishes...
Mogens
