How to disable Pro Deo's Book in Winboard?

[Marc Moisan]

Well the title pretty much says it!

If I use wb2uci.eng I know what to do... but for a straight winboard implementation... what do I do?

Thank you,

There are several ways Marc. Either you create zero bytes book files
with the names of the 2 book files in ProDeos book folder or you add
Initstrings in your WB.ini file like below.
(I have also added complete ProDeo entries as an example,
note that ProDeo 1.2 uses different hash numbers than 1.1)
It is possible that you can send InitString two times too without
first and second, but I've never tried.
Moreover if you look in the WB help there is another option
to read a settingsfile as option in the WB.ini file, but I guess
above methods are already sufficient

Code: Select all

/firstInitString BookOff\n
/secondInitString BookOff\n

"ProDeo_11 w7 rebel.eng" /fd=c:\WB\All\ProDeo_11 /firstInitString BookOff\n /xreuse /firstProtocolVersion 1
"ProDeo_11 w7 rebel.eng" /sd=c:\WB\All\ProDeo_11 /secondInitString BookOff\n /xreuse2 /secondProtocolVersion 1

Thank you Guenther,

I edited the wb.ini file and the book is indeed disabled!
