Turn it off in winboard options. I always play with winboard option ponder move
unchecked.

I would assume there is a way, but don't see it within the documentation.
There are (6) books that come with Ruffian/Arena, not 4?
Book one is the same book supplied with Ruffian 1.0.1 so there are 5 new books.

And although yesterday I only gave Djordje credit for 4, I got that from the
Ruffian/Arena pages. By reading the info.txt for each book it would appear that
5 were his.

No idea.
