If it’s my GUI so will it be free when I’m finish to add extension to it, and my own bug test is over. If it was a modified Winboard (thereby programming people) so I let it give a try this afternoon. That I was afraid of was that you must hack the winboard code to give a command before Winboard send xboard command. But, guess what. The King give a damn in if his command comes before or after the xboard command so you only need set the right parameters in your Winboard startup command (/initString). There is a catch with it. The King isn’t able to read opening books, because the CM GUI does this. So maybe another GUI (CA, CB el.) was a better try, if it was for playing on an ICS. (I think I saw something like Tim Mann was planning a book option for Winboard in one of these forums.) Odd Gunnar Malin (To give the command line here? Are I going from hacker to cracker then?)
