What you need to do is edit your winboard.ini file so that you don't
have to keep typing that stuf in all the time, you'll then be able to
just select the engine that you wan't to use. Below is an example of
what the end of my Winboard.ini file looks like today, but I do change
it often. Notice that all of the first programs say fd=c:\\ while the
second programs say sd=c:\\
