"Winboard executables"

When an engine is listed as being a "Winboard executable" what does this mean? Does it mean I can put it in the Winboard folder and just run it? How do I install it? Sorry for the basic question but I'm new to Winboard. Thanks

you are right .you can put it in the winboard folder or a folder on its own any where you like on the drive.it is best to have it in its own folder inside the Winboard folder.Give the folder the same name as the engine.Put all the adjacent files in that folder like the books. the ini file if there is etc.Then edit
the winboard ini file to specify the location of the engine.
since you are new to winboard you need to read the Winboard FAQ.
Here is the link http://www.aarontay.per.sg/Winboard/index.html

Good luck

Hi,

You can also use Tom's engine manager to help run your program in winboard:
