There's also my attempt at explaining the intricate nature of setting up engines with WinBoard. There's also a simple WinBoard.ini file. Everything mentioned can be found using the link below.
Best wishes...

under the winboard "Sturtup failure on 'crafty winboard', the system can't find the file specified". Please canb you help me? With best regurds , Michael.
It seems you have something like "crafty winboard" in your winboard.ini. Try "crafty xboard" or leave the parameter out at all. Crafty don't need "xboard". I've never read something about "winboard".
