EPD2WB does NOT require the Winboard program at all. EPD2WB communicates using the Winboard protocol so there is no need for the actual Winboard 4.x.x program. The best way to use EPD2WB is this: - Unzip the EPD2WB files into its own directory. - In this directory, also put the testsuite files, like ecm.epd - In this same directory, place the engine's executable file (and configuration file, if needed), such as movei005.exe. - Finally, you need to create DOS batch file, for example, epd.bat. epd.bat will contain a single line + hard return. The single line should be of the form: epd2wb movei005 ecm.epd 20 Then to run the engine thru the testsuite, simple double click epd.bat to execute. If the engine requires commandline arguments, enclose the program name + arguments in double quotes, like: epd2wb "movei005 movei005.ini" ecm.epd 20 To make changes to epd.bat file, right-click on the file and choose Edit. You can use this procedure for any engine, any .epd file, and any thinking time. I hope this helps. Ed Seid future webmaster of winboard.info
