I have a little program which makes it possible to play multiple games with Winboard from DOS. You call it with exactly the same parameters as Winboard plus the number of games like this: Startwb n /cp /fcp=pgm1 /scp=pgm2 ..... where n is he number of games. Startwb then calls winboard. Anyone interested, just send me a mail and I return it to you with no guarantees! A better solution however would be to extend Winboards /mm parameter to something like /mm n where n is number of games. /Peter
