I had not known the batch-solution, as I never do much with Winboard, and I did not expect to suddenly have to deal with it, and then I did not have any time to fiddle around much (yes, I guess we should have practiced a lot more on ICC before...).

Anyway, too late to change things now. I will have a conference next week, so unfortunately, I will only be able to drop in on Sunday for the last few hours (Muntsin will be there throughout the tournament).
