Winboard Forum

Hello,

i am looking for winboard232d sourcecode or any other utilitie's source that does the same thing

i am interested with the "d version" because i need the -pipe option (which is new in version d) and not to use a COM port

unfortunately, Ed Boerger's homepage is dead (http://home.t-online.de/home/EBoerger) and i cant find his email to ask him.
moreover, the links given here in a previous post didnt help me (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=49991&start=0&hilit=winboard232d)

thanks a lot for your help.

I cannot help here but I have a question too ! Does winboard232 work on x64 systems ? I tried it and it fails.

winboard232d.exe works perfectly fine in XPx64 and Vista x64. I know lots of people that use winboard232d.exe in 64 bits OS enviroment to succesfully play in Yahoo Chess servers via:
Yahoo<->YaY<->WinBoard<->winboard232d.exe<-> Fritz in auto232 1.0 mode<->engine

In other words, winboard232d.exe is used to communicate (via a pipe) with Fritz's auto232

Note: YaY is an ICS emulator forked from YtoICS

Hope this answers your question.

Cheers,

Thanks, I probably did not try hard enough

I'll have a closer look at it.

I do not know in wish way you want to use winboard232d.exe, but if what you want is WinBoard to communicate with a chessbase GUI like FRITZ, then the first chess program, in this case winboard232d must be invoked with the -pipe option.

Next is the last part of my winboard shortcut:

Code: Select all

/zp /ics /icshost 127.0.0.1 /icsport 6000 /fcp="Winboard232d.exe -pipe"

Additionally, you can visite this page:

to see an example with snapshots of the steps needed in a Fritz GUI.
