+WGP: configuring PSWBTM +

+

The WinBoard Gold Pack 4.4.0

+

For the ultimate WinBoard experience!

+

Configuring PSWBTM

+

+PSWBTM has to know where WinBoard is installed, in order to invoke it. +This is really all that configuring it means. +The WinBoard Gold Pack comes with PSWBTM already configured and fully opertional, +so normally you would not have to do this. +Only if during the installation PSWBTM somehow lost track of where WinBoard is located, +(e.g. because you moved or renamed some folders), +you would have to configure PSWBTM again. +

+To do it, you have to start up PSWBTM +(to be found in the PSWBTM folder of the WinBoard Gold Pack download) +by double clicking it. +Then select the menu item "Tools -> Configuration". +This pops up the following dialog: +

+ +

+Use the "Browse" button on the right to summon up a file-selector dialog. +Use that to navigate to the WinBoard folder of the WinBoard Gold Pack (~\WinBoard). +In the file-selector window you will then see a lot of black-Knight icons, +for the winboard application and all its shortcuts. +Double-click the icon named "winboard". +This terminates the file-selector dialog, +and copies the full name of the WinBoard application to the input field. +Then click the "Save" button, and the configuration is done. +

+

Running Multiple Tournaments Simultaneously

+

+Note that it is possible to run several instances of PSWBTM at the same time. +This only works properly, however, if you make sure they do not interfere with each other. +This can be done by making a copy of the PSWBTM1 folder, and everything in it. +If you want to run tournaments which need different settings in the winboard.ini file, +you would similarly have to make a copy of the winboard.exe and winboard.ini +(you could for instance put these in the same folder as the PSWBTM copy, say PSWBTM2). +This PSWBTM copy would then have to be configured to work with the WinBoard copy. +If you also want to run the same engine several times at once, +you might have to duplicate their folders too (and install the copies in a PSWBTM). +Some engines don't care how many times you run them, but others, +especially the ones that write on files in their own folder, do not like it at all. +
