As already said, the method with textfiles is the best one. With some others
used by many people you cannot get the same results/moves. Below my Wb2Uci.eng
where under "Extras" the textfiles are defined which contains the corresponding
settings:

[ENGINE]
Name=The King 3.23
Author=Johan de Koning, NED
Filename=Wb2Uci.exe

[OPTIONS]
Program=c:\programme\ubi soft\chessmaster 9000\TheKing.exe
InitString=cm_parm default\ncm_parm opk=332090
HashCommand=cm_parm tts=%i004096
ShowThinkingMove=true
;Logfile=true
Visible=Ponder,Hash,ShowThinkingMove,Logfile,Extras

[EXTRAS]
Personality=<readfile>|combo|Default|Default|CM9_Brann|CM9_8777|CM9_Pillen|CM9_Utz12n|CM9_Utz12p|CM9_SRK

And furthermore I state the contents of the individual textfiles that must be in
the same folder as the Wb2Uci.eng [please note that the textfiles must be named
exactly as mentioned below, i.e. CM9_Brann.txt]
