I have a Crafty account on an ICS and would like to run Nimzo2000b as well. I made a batch file including "c:\directory\winboard.exe -zp -ics -icshost fics.onenet.net -icshelper timeseal -fcp "wbnimzo2000b.exe xboard" -sgf gamelog.pgn" but cannot run it. Winboard is in c:\directory as well as WBNimzo2000b. There is also the c:\directory\Nimzo directory. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

a.) Probably it is no good idea to just copy the exe-File to the Winboard folder ; better let your batch file point to the original one in the Nimzo folder namely
-fcp "WbNimzo2000b" -fd "C:\\directory\\Nimzo"
b.) In the file WbNimzo2000b.ini change the entry CheCodeName so it points to the WbNimzo2000b.cmp in the Nimzo-directory
c.) Adapt Hashsize and set AskHashSize to 0 there too
d.) Don't forget to change -fcp "wbnimzo2000b.exe xboard" to -fcp WbNimzo2000b ( probably other should work to but safer is better )
e.) Make sure Nimzo runs fine on your local computer now if you create a shortcut including -fcp "bla" -fd "blabla"
f.) I don't know the server fics.onenet.net ; check if you have a valid entry for it in your winboard.ini including the icsport like the ones listed in the original ini-file ; if it is different from 5000 you probably need -icsport "number here"
I hope some of this helps .

Winboard is in c:\directory as well as WBNimzo2000b. There is also the c:\directory\Nimzo directory. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

hello there
I run WbNimzo2000b at FICS
I made a shortcut of WinBoard.exe and wrote in the commandline: D:\WinBoard\wbnimzo2000b\winboard.exe /zp /ics /icshost=freechess.org /icshelper=timeseal /fcp=WbNimzo2000b /fd=D:\WinBoard\wbnimzo2000b /icslogon=ICS1.ini
(icslogon is a helpful data to set password and handle and formulas etc. ;you dont need to type this)
May be if you compare these parameters with your settings you will understand how you can do it. If not mail me please.
