how do you use the king outside of its native gui

Post by ozziejoe »

Can anybody give me some instruction on how to do this? Do you need an adapter to run it in arena, for example?

man that is complicated....even the warning at the beggining of the instruction is ominous. Here is one statement

"WARNING: This section and the next is by far the most complicated parts in the whole FAQ, and if you are not familiar with Winboard engines, you have little hope of getting it to work. . "

I can work through this slowly, later, but does anybody happen to have the files (except theking.exe of course) to make this work?
