The method i use is just with Inbetween.exe and Inbetween.ini in the Chessmaster folder. InBetween.exe must be renamed to TheKing.exe. And this is my Inbetween.ini file - [InBetween] CommandLine := TheKing312c.exe Debug := 3 Log := logfile.log When Chessmaster is started, a dos window opens with the various parameter, including the opk number.
