Look at it this way Wayde, you want a zillion things added to Winboard, but it's
just the wrong program to do that to, and most of us wouldn't like Winboard
anymore if it could do a zillion extra things because it would turn into
bloatware.

BUT..., you can download the source code for Winboard, which is programmed in
"C", and if you have some background in C, then you can start making yourself a
custom version, but you may be getting ahead of yourself, because you're
anxiouslly waiting for Fritz to arrive, (takes about 2 days if you order
directly from Chessbaseusa), and that's just a real nice interface the way it
is.  I have only a minor complaint or 2 about it.  But the way it sits, it might
be allready what you want, and not a seriously butchered Winboard.

But if you're going to assume that you're in the wrong place just because of a
post that _I_ made, then maybe you ARE in the wrong place.
