You enter path to executable then there is a line for command line parameters. I entered all parameters that I have in my winboard. ini file on the command line and some engines ,12 out of 23 worked fine. Funny though that Gromit.cui,Bionic tbpath=,TCBxInit.cui all work.Then Raffaella,SOS,Tao,and Yace which require no special command line parameters don't work. I guess I'm stuck with 50% of my available engines not working. What would happen if I had all your engines downloaded??????? Maybe CM8000 should be half price I bought it primarily based on John Merlino's post about complete Winboard COMPATIBILTY.Otherwise I would have purchased another program .I have had CM since 4000 series but felt I outgrew it because of my interest in Winboarding and the other strong commercial programs.Then the post,then I bought it. I hope I can get help,maybe I'm doing something wrong.If not goodbye CM Regards, Paul
