A few bugfixes and some enhancements to support the upcoming ERT update have
been made to the winboard adapter.

The update can be downloaded from:

Look for the engineext.zip file.

Update history for the Lokasoft Winboard adapter

8may2001 - version 4.0.0.10

- The ponder on and ponder off strings where not always send correctly,
causing pondering not to work. This has happened mostly in combination
with the latest ERT.

- Added extra Option= keyword, when setting Option=1 the score as returned
from the engine is inverted when it is blacks turn. Use this option for
engines that give their scores always relative from white. e.g Crafty 18.x

- Added BookOn and BookOff options, these strings are send when the gui
give a command to enable or disable the book. This options are mainly
there to support nunn matches whithout using an openening book. When
left blank nothing is send to the engine.

- When entering edit mode with black to move, it now sends force\na2a3\n
where it previously only send a2a3\n  This could confuse some engines.
