I need to notice executable location you can get at runtime via windoze API function. Book file name + location is way more important info as well as some boolean parameters like learning/pondering etc. Of course programmers come up with zillions variables/tweaks stored in ini files, so I admire your goal. Now imagine cool idea of cooking opponents ini file by some engine due to 'standarization' :) -Andrew-
