No executable files for Windows can be found there.

Number 760 is the XB compatible one according to Rons/my list.
It is also written on the site you looked at....(WB interface code for 760)

Note that there are 2 compiles with xb interface enabled.
One of them has a different fixed depth probably the l4 version, because
I guess l4 means depth 4. The other one moves immediately.

Both only moves pawns with White when possible and (almost) only
Ra8/Nb8 with Black as long as possible, thus not much fun in playing them ;)
At least on my machine the programs are always hanging when trying to
close Winboard. (and of course no PV infos)

Stefano´s answer is:

What you highlighted in the first link is the ZX81 version. It has its own user interface and if you do not have a ZX81 you can still run on modern PCs with an emulator.

If you go to the project home page at http://smmax.sf.net/ you will find all the main download links in the specific section (also for precompiled binaries).

Regarding the Winboard interface I did an experiment some time ago trying to "minimally" (meaning in source size) adapt the small source full fide version. If you are interested in testing it you will find it browsing the files section.

Let me know what do you think.
