Subject: rebel package support for winboard engines?

  Hi from an erlier thread i learned that the new rebel package with gambit
tiger ect. will support winboard engines. I had a few specific questions about
that, that i was hoping could be answered.  First as many of you know, chessbase
winboard support does not seem to work for all engines.  Is this the case with
the rebel package?  Have any of you tried loading different winboard engins into
it and what was the success rate?  Second, chessbase allows the winboard engine
to use the fritz book for example. Will rebel gives engines this option?  And
can it be turned off if you want the engine to use its own book?  Third can a
winboard engine loaded onto the rebel package connect to the icc like rebel can.
 I am very interested to the answer to these questions.  I have written a
winboard program. What would be nice is if I had a second program besides
winboard to connect it to the icc.  If it can use the rebel book that would be
even better.  This means programmers who have not made large books could use the
rebel book when connecting their program to the icc.  This would be a huge
advantage for a lot of engines under 2500 that dont have large books yet. thanks
