New beta-test versions of xboard and WinBoard are available on my Web
page.  See address below. They include several bug fixes and a couple
of new features for chess engine fans:

-fd and -sd options let you run the chess engine with a different
working directory from xboard/WinBoard.  Note that xboard/WinBoard
does *not* automatically look for the engine program itself (the .exe
file) in that directory, so you have to add its path to the -fcp and
-scp options *too*.  (I might change that, since it already seems to
be causing confusion.)

Example:
	winboard -fcp "c:\crafty\wcrafty-15_8.exe winboard" 
		 -fd "c:\crafty" -cp

-matchGames option lets you run a multi-game unattended match between
two chess engines, with alternating colors.

See the ChangeLog for more.  This version has few new features over
3.6.7beta, but several bugs are fixed.  There are extensive internal
revisions to the chess engine support, to clean up bad coding
practices and support the -matchGames feature, so I would not be
surprised if a few new bugs have been introduced.

xboard and WinBoard are chess user interface programs for Unix and
Windows.  They provide a graphical chessboard that you can use for
playing against chess engines such as GNU Chess or Crafty, for playing
on the Internet Chess Servers, or for simple viewing and editing of
games in standard chess notation (PGN).

xboard and WinBoard are free software, available with complete source
code under the GNU General Public License.  Detailed bug reports,
suggestions, and donations of code are welcome.  Harsh criticism and
expectations that I have unlimited time to implement all requested
features are unwelcome.
