Subject: Problem with Winboard.

I really enjoy playing matches between my program and others, but several of
them give strange results when working with Winboard. My program does not
recognize 3rd repetition, and when checkmates or is checkmated, does not
announce the game result, but relies on the program opposite to take care of
that. Unfortunately, I have gleefully looked upon several match results only to
find that all my program's "wins" were really the opponent running out of time
after 3rd repetition. This problem happens especially with Fortress 1.4b and
Tristram 4.0. What commands must be sent to Winboard after checkmate, draw, etc.
to have it stop the game?
