Yes it will play other chessbase engines, just like a native engine, so far i
havve only read that there is very little if any performance penalty. I have not
really had the time to test it properly.

Yes, with a null modem cable and a (c) account, the WinBoard Autoplayer 232 by
Eberhard Boerger (available for download at frank's top download(at the bottom)
C:\winboard\winboard.exe -zp -ics -fcp "winboard232c -com 2" -icshost
freechess.org -icshelper timeseal
This is line i put in my winboard shortcut, you will need to place
winboard232c.exe in your winboard folder along with your ics.ini file(containing
username and password) connect the null modem cable to your com1 and com2 on the
back of you cpu, and voila you should be up and running, start Fritz 6 gui or
shredder 5 gui (you need to activate the autoplayer function before you can do
this) click on your winboard shortcut and that's it :-)
