Subject: Writing init files for Nimzo/Fritz winboard adapter

Author: Marc Plum

I've tried to get Bionic 4.1 to work inside Nimzo99 using the winboard engine
adapter.  It will make the opening moves, but as soon as it is out of book it
just sits and lets the clock run out.  If I have the window open to show
analysis, it remains blank.  I suspect the problem could be that I don't really
know how to write the init file properly, and have just been trying to write
something similar to the other init files for winboard engines.  Does anyone
have a working init file for Bionic, or know of something else that might cause
this problem?

Incidentally, I had the same problem at first with ZChess, but solved it by
copying the entire text of the ini file, and pasting it into the init file.
Unscientific, and probably completely wrong, but it worked.

Does anyone have general advice on writing these init files?
