OK, I'll try my very best...

About the Winboard-compatibility of Gromit: @!X&?$%#+ Grrrrrrr. Gromit seems
to be ok and my code was ok as well on principle. The Windows-documentation
said something about different behaviour of MS-DOS programs that I ignored,
because the whole thing has nothing to do with MS-DOS. Obviously this assumption
was wrong. A Win32-console-program seems to behave like an MS-DOS-program.
However, now it is working.

Gromit is now on the list of engines that have been tested with the Fritz32
WinBoard-interface (note that you have to give the --xboardquiet option in
Fritzs' init-file).

See http://home.t-online.de/home/hobblefrank for information about Gromit
and http://www.chessbase.com for information about Fritz and the interface.
