I have finally made some progress in running Winboard with timeseal from
my pc behind a firewall. I have socksified winboard with
SocksCap32 and when I run it this way I can connect into FICS with
timeseal on. The problem is Winboard brings up a DOS window to login
with on top of the normal Winboard window, and although I can log in
with this window, if I try to play a game, the game window isn't used-
it gives me a textboard in the timeseal dos-window. If I finger myself
it shows that timeseal is on. However, no prompts whatsoever go into the
normal interaction window and the game window is completely inactive. Is
there a setting I need to use to get timeseal to work though the
interaction window in Winboard and to make the game window active? I
have tried setting style 12 in FICS and killing the timeseal window- no
luck. I am running the standard FICS dialog statup option (freechess.org
/icsport=5000 /icshelper=timeseal). I have messaged Tim Mann about this
but got no response.

Using this same process was successful in Cclient, but I hate Cclient
and lose many more games because of its poor interface.
