I saw something that I liked where someone >had all Winboard programs as subdirectories a a dir called c:\chesprog or >something to that effect. Perhaps, then, a database, which is modelled for all types of needed paramters and has specific entries for different systems. It is a pain in the posterior setting it up for twenty different chess programs so that all are getting what they want. >We all need dif hashtable sizes too.

It has some fascinating concepts (for instance, it dynmically changes the size of hash tables on the fly). It has English instructions somewhere in the file.
