FIRST: For such an important utility (to load engines on winboard) there is a poor interest so far. Is it strange? There are almost 200 engine authors and thousands of users of such engines. SECOND: I am not a programmer, so I want to ask this: if one separates the winboard.ini file in two files. One the 'winboard.ini' with all winboard settings and the second e.g. an 'engine.ini' file with the relevant settings (fd, sd, etc.), then it could be perhaps possible with a windows application write-in the folder path of Winboard, the folder of the engine, the exact name of the engine (as its exe file) and have the engine.ni file be edited automatically, irrespectively of the drive/place where you or I keep the winboard and the engine folders. This means that Winboard would need a small modification to read the engine.ini file. THIRD: If there is a volunteer for the above work, then he can simply get in contact with Dr. Tim Mann and do the rest with him. Why not? Regards
