I fail to see what the functionality a GUI offers (ie turning off nullmove, switching opening books, you-name-it) has to do with the protocol between the GUI and the engine. The GUI could change the configuration file (.rc, .ini or whatever) and send the engine a command to re-read the configuration file. Sounds pretty simple to me. Or it could simple terminate the engine and start it again. (which has some drawbacks, but is even simpler to implement as there is no command like 'REREAD_CONFIG' needed. Just because no xboard/winboard-GUI does that, doesn't mean it's not possible to do. Sargon
