You need to do one of the following:

1.  If you put the TB files in a directory "./TB" (which is where I keep
them, using a symbolic link in unix) then add the "egtb" command to your
crafty.rc/.craftyrc file (no quotes of course).

2.  If you put the TB files somewhere else, use the tbpath= command to point
crafty to where they are.  You then don't need the "egtb" command although
having it won't hurt a thing.

The other issue is using "fd" as a winboard option to make sure it starts
crafty running in the directory you expect it to be in.
