I converted to a more readable PV format several months ago, producing analysis that fits the PGN standard a little better.. and the "23. ... h3 etc" format that is correct for PGN is confusing winboard. This can be turned off with "display nomovenum" or by leaving off the "show thinking"... And Tim said 3.6.8beta will have better move parsing... soon...
