Let's see if I get spell this correctly... perhaps you can see my slurring
tongue :)

Precondition:  Mogens hoped that you got WB installed.  I am taking it for
granted.

Anyway, first, let's head for immediate gratification:  copy all the AnMon files
into your Winboard directory.  Then click on your Winboard icon and, when
offered the Winboard setup, click on the first option "play against the chess
engine..."  Some text will appear, just ignore it and select it all.  Then type
in the command I proposed, but do not forget the quotes "anmon (or whatever the
exact name of your *.exe file is) xboard".  "xboard" stands here as a command
that has kept its Unix name, which is irrelevant.

All this said and done, you should be able to play your first game against
AnMon...

Clink, clink...
