-<h2>"For the ultimate WinBoard experience"</h2>\r
-<h3>Introduction</h3>\r
-<p>\r
-The WinBoard 4.3 series is a continuation of the WinBoard_x line by Allessandro Scotti.\r
-It is been further developed, and is maintained, by H.G. Muller.\r
-Most addtions and improvements that went into this since the last version produced\r
-by the GNU-Savannah xboard project team, WinBoard 4.2.7b,\r
-are unfortunately not parallelled in xboard.\r
-On the contrary, they have destroyed the compatibility of the back-end sources\r
-shared by WinBoard and xboard with the xboard front-end of version 4.2.7b.\r
-Since WinBoard 4.3.14, however, the releases again coms with a compatible xboard front-end.\r
-That does not mean that all the features added to WinBoard can already be used\r
-in this xboard version.\r
-But some can, an in 4.3.15 many more have been added.\r
-</p><p>\r
-The description below applies specifically to WinBoard, \r
-although we have tried to mark features that can also be used in xboard by (x) everywhere.\r
-This version of xboard does does have som new menus added to control such features.\r
-Other functionss, if they work at all, must be switched on from the command line.\r

-<h3>New features since 4.2.7b</h3>\r
-<p>\r
-Below follows a table that lists the new features, \r
-the command-line option needed to control them,\r
-and if there is a menu provided that can switch the option while WinBoard is running\r
-(command-line options exert their effect only at startup).\r
-Note that, unlike WinBoard 4.2.7, the WinBoard 4.3 series is fully castling and e.p. aware,\r
-and handles the castling, e.p. and 50-move field in FENs on input and output as should be expected.\r
