From the readme file: PolyGlot should have its own directory. The INI files for engines should also be put there. I do not understand it How polyglot knows which INI file is relevant in case of more than one file? I read later in the readme file Note that PolyGlot will look for the INI file in the current directory. If no <INI file> is given, "polyglot.ini" is selected. I do not understand it. How can I give polyglot ini file? I have no polyglot.ini in the directory of polyglot or in the download so how can it select polyglot.ini? I usually run winboard programs under winboard simply by batch files(an alternative way that I know to run winboard programs under winboard is by putting both exe files on the winboard directory and writing the names of the programs in the winboard startup. Here is an example for a batch file For some reason that part that tell movei to play position number 20 in both sides against rybka does not work and the part that tell it to do the same thing against gerbil works. Note that I modified the name of the exe file of rybka to Rybka.exe and I have only one ini file in the polyglot directrory that I expect polyglot to use. The polyglot directory is d:\moveiengines\polyglot and I have also cygwin1.dll at that file. I can post the content of my Rybka.ini file if people tell me that the problem is in that file but I guess that it is not the problem and polyglot simply does not know which ini file to use inspite of the fact that there is only one ini file. Note that the error that I get is the following error: "The procedure enty point_impure_ptr could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll" FOR %%P IN (20) DO start /w winboard.exe /mg=2 /tc=1 /autoCallFlag true /ponderNextMove false /cp /lgf endgame_suite.pgn /lgi %%P /fcp=polyglot.exe /fd=d:\moveiengines\polyglot /scp=movei00_8_336.exe /sd=d:\moveiengines\movei00_8_336 /sgf=d:\nunn\move336Rybka.pgn FOR %%P IN (20) DO start /w winboard.exe /mg=2 /tc=1 /autoCallFlag true /ponderNextMove false /cp /lgf endgame_suite.pgn /lgi %%P /fcp=GERBIL.exe /fd=d:\moveiengines\Gerbil /scp=movei00_8_336.exe /sd=d:\moveiengines\movei00_8_336 /sgf=d:\nunn\move336Gerbil.pgn Uri
