+<h3>Configuring PSWBTM</h3>\r
+<p>\r
+PSWBTM has to know where WinBoard is installed, in order to invoke it.\r
+This is really all that configuring it means.\r
+The WinBoard Gold Pack comes with PSWBTM already configured and fully opertional,\r
+so normally you would not have to do this.\r
+Only if during the installation PSWBTM somehow lost track of where WinBoard is located,\r
+(e.g. because you moved or renamed some folders),\r
+you would have to configure PSWBTM again.\r
+</p><p>\r
+To do it, you have to start up PSWBTM \r
+(to be found in the PSWBTM folder of the WinBoard Gold Pack download)\r
+by double clicking it.\r
+Then select the menu item "Tools -> Configuration".\r
+This pops up the following dialog:\r
+</p>\r
+<img src="conf.png">\r
+<p>\r
+Use the "Browse" button on the right to summon up a file-selector dialog.\r
+Use that to navigate to the WinBoard folder of the WinBoard Gold Pack (~\WinBoard).\r
+In the file-selector window you will then see a lot of black-Knight icons,\r
+for the winboard application and all its shortcuts.\r
+Double-click the icon named "winboard".\r
+This terminates the file-selector dialog,\r
+and copies the full name of the WinBoard application to the input field.\r
+Then click the "Save" button, and the configuration is done.\r
+</p>\r
+<h3>Running Multiple Tournaments Simultaneously</h3>\r
+<p>\r
+Note that it is possible to run several instances of PSWBTM at the same time.\r
+This only works properly, however, if you make sure they do not interfere with each other.\r
+This can be done by making a copy of the PSWBTM1 folder, and everything in it.\r
+If you want to run tournaments which need different settings in the winboard.ini file,\r
+you would similarly have to make a copy of the winboard.exe and winboard.ini\r
+(you could for instance put these in the same folder as the PSWBTM copy, say PSWBTM2).\r
+This PSWBTM copy would then have to be configured to work with the WinBoard copy.\r
+If you also want to run the same engine several times at once,\r
+you might have to duplicate their folders too (and install the copies in a PSWBTM).\r
+Some engines don't care how many times you run them, but others,\r
+especially the ones that write on files in their own folder, do not like it at all.\r
