Louguet Test and Winboard Engines?

Is it possible to run the above testset in Winboard? Has anyone done so? If you have I'd be interested to hear what the ratings were. I know most can be run
through Fritz but my computer still does'nt like Chessbase products.
I'm trying to gauge the strength of the various program(sos,phanlax,amy,and the two versions of gromit).
Thanks in advance.

Programs that can process EPD can do it. Most of them don't create correct EPD output, so you will have to read the documentation for each and every tool to understand the output produced.
Crafty is the only freeware product I know of that can read and write EPD completely correctly.
To use crafty, do this command:
epdpfga louget.epd louget.out
which will read a file of EPD records called louget.epd and write a processed file with answers called louget.out. Then to find out how well crafty scored on the problem set, do this:
epdscor louget.out

It's a pity that other tools are not able to process EPD correctly. Especially since the EPD processor used by crafty (written by Steven J. Edwards himself) is available for anyone to use.
Strangely, all of the commercial programs process EPD incorrectly. The two that are closest to correct are Hiarcs and Rebel. The others are laughably distant from correct implementation.

I forget where the official site is. It has a detailed description of each of the problems included. Anyway, here is the problem set:
ftp://38.168.214.175/pub/EPD/LCTII.EPD
Most computer programs do very badly on it. If you can find one that gets them all right, let me know!

How to specificy the time limit for each position?

several different ways. You can set st= from the command line or also set it in the crafty.rc file (or .craftyrc for UNIX). All that stuff is discussed in the documentation at length.
