 This is part of the relevantlines in my winboard.ini file:

"TheKing" /fd="c:\Archivos de programa\Chessmaster 8000"
/firstInitString="xboard\npost\nnew\ncm_parm opk=659021\ncm_parm tts=33554432"
  /firstProtocolVersion=1

 So your problems could be:

 1) maybe "/firstProtocolVersion 1" doesn't work, correct is
  /firstProtocolVersion=1

 2) the opk number: yours is 182232, mine is 659021. What's right? Actually
none. Mine was 659021 yesterday, today I don't know, if I want to use
CM8000/TheKing under Winboard (or Fritz) I have to get the new opk number, it
changes every time you restart the computer.
