The problem was that Winboard wouldn't even run a GNU C program! Then I asked Bob Hyatt and he said something along the lines that I'd have to recompile my program to run with the Microsoft Visual C/C++ compiler that Winboard expects, which I really don't want to do. Hence the post. My believe is that Winboard and GNU C compiled programs don't grok each other on Windows 95. Xboard and GNU C on Unix of course are fine, but I don't see that on the PC.
