The parameter for Gandalf is xboard.

You can see the parameter from ~ 80 WinBoard Engines in my config2.zip file
(available in WinBoard.ini). Furthermore more examples for configurations.

The parameter are for commercial GUIs the same.

Important for Gandalf 4.32f-g is the Gandalf4.res configuration file. Here you
can make changes in important options.

My Gandalf4.res

LEARNING 1
DRAW 6 50
CONTEMPT 0
RESIGN 7 6
TB f:\nalimov
BOOKPATH c:\winboard\gandalf
HASH 64
TBCACHE 4

You must adjust the directory to the opening book and to the "Nalimov"
tablebases. With more then 64 MB is Gandalf a little bit weaker (in my opinion).
