I don't know how familiar you are with WinBoard options and batch files, so a
first try assuming you already know nearly everything. Sample line of batch
file:

start /w c:\winboarddir\winboard /mg=5 -cp -lpf wild5.epd -fcp EngineA -fd
"EngineAdir" -scp EngineB -sd "EngineBdir" -sgf wild5big.pgn

should do. Next line of this file similar with EngineC and EngineD and so on.
Feel free to ask again if this is of no help and what you don't understand and
I'll answer again in more detail.

Regards,
pete
