It enters xboard mode automatically, no -xboard needed. To run it with winboard
run winboard and enter [Frey's path]\freyr.exe as the first chess program. To
use it from the command line to analyze an epd file use it with the following
parameters :

	-analyse <epd filename>
	-outfile <filename to write results to>
	-maxtime <max time for a position to be analysed in 1/100 seconds (float)>
	-maxply <max ply to analyse a position>
	-tag <engine configuration description when analysing EPDs>

like in

freyr.exe -analyse wac.epd -outfile wac.txt -maxtime 26000 -maxply 5 -tag "5
plies fab"

I apologize for the poor documentation, it was released without very much
efforts put into user friendlyness. I'll release in about a week a new &
improved version, which will include among others a readme.install & an option
to build the opening book from a pgn.
