Cross posted from the Winboard forum: I need some help shelling an engine on a remote computer. I have two machines; one runs Linux, the other Windows. There is a chess engine on the Linux machine that I'd like to shell off and interface with Winboard on the Windows machine. Here's the startup batch file I'm using: cd \progra~1\winboard winboard /fh="www" /fd="h:\prophet\current" /fcp="./prophet ics" Note the hostname of the Linux machine is 'www'. I am running Samba, hence the mapped drive letter "h" to the directory the engine lives in. When I execute the batch file, I get a "error reading from first chess program" error. Same deal if I use /fd="/home/james/prophet/current/", and if I remove the './' from the engine command. I've read through the Winboard documentation without any luck. Help greatly appreciated! -- James
