Ini files

Postby Anonymous » 23 Sep 2005, 16:13

Is there a website where a collection of possible initialization files -or details about them- for WB engines can be found? In several cases the engine supports an .ini file not included in the release. For example, Plywood -AFAIK- can be told, buy means of the .ini file, to use its opening book, but the file is not included and I don't know what commands I should put there, should I create the .ini myself.

the ini file is a CP file. It has nothing to do with winboard but it is required for some other GUI's other than Winboard such as ChessPad and ChessPartner.

The format of the ini file can be found here:
