I cannot get winboard to work properly as an ics
interface with Windows 95.
I can connect and login using the .ini files, but I cannot
send commands to ics through the console.  It seems that
the problem is cr/lf related:

If I type a command and hit return, no response.

But then if I use a menu item that sends a command, the menu
command is appended to the command I tried to type and I get
an error message from ics.

e.g. I type 

	message

and then choose the resign menu item, I see:

	messageresign command not found.

Another related problem I have noticed is that if in my ics.ini
file I have

mylogin
mypassword

BUT I do not include a carriage return after mypassword, then 
thge login fails because no carriage return is sent signyfing 
the entering of the password.
