That is clear, of course. And I was doing so ...

No! I tried that on this way: At first I imported a PGN file with command
"read", then I exported again as a FEN file with command "savepos" and
re-imported with comand "in". That's okay. But: Another FEN file produced by a
third software I could not import with "in" - Crafty was crashing down! But this
same FEN file I could read by Winboard exactly?! What are you telling now?

Bob, the point is: I read your command list v. 17.XX again and again. And I
could not find these explanations to command "input" given here?!

Am I right saying your command list is not completely? I'm missing commands like
benchmark, freq, cab ... or using CPU time?! Your explanations to command
"input" by command list are not well. What can I do? I can only read your
command list, not more ... ;-)
