Go up one level in this thread


I am not sure what the problem is.

I use a command line like this (this example plays against comet):

winboard -size small -debugMode true -cp -fcp "d:\arasan\5.2\win32\toolsrel\aras
anx.exe -ics -H 5000 -t" -scp d:\chess\comet\comet-wb.exe -sd d:\chess\comet

If you turn on "debugMode true", you will get some output in the winboard.debug
file which may be helpful. The -t option on arasan also causes it to output
some extra info.

Note that you need the book.bin and styles.bin files to be in the same
directory as arasanx.exe - this is how it is installed by default, but
if you move arasanx.exe, you should move the bin files, too.
