Instructions at http://www.inficad.com/~ecollins/winb-config.htm.
Step by step:
1) Download the accuclck.exe file from ftp://www.chess.net/pub and place it in your WinBoard directory (folder).

2) With any text editor, open up your winboard.ini file.

3) Change your Chess.net settings to chess.net /icshost=localhost /icsport=1000

4) Next, open a DOS prompt, go to your WinBoard directory, and type accuclck -p 1000. You should then see a message "Listening on port 1000." (Note: You may wish to set this command up in a batch file, so that you don't have to type this manually every time.)

5) Toggle back to Windows (or simply minimize this new DOS window if you set it up to appear as such) and start Winboard and then login to Chess.net as you normally would. That's it. "Finger" yourself to confirm that Accuclock is indeed on.

6) Upon exiting the program, shut down your open DOS window. (You should see the word "Finished" in the window.)

You could use DOS, but it's not handy what with the long names etc. Pavel, you have to use Explorer withing Windows to get everything right Invest a little time in it, the gain will be worth it.

Open your Dos prompt. Then cd to your winboard directory with this command
cd "c:\program files\winboard" of course your directory might be different.Just make sure the path is within double quotes. After that u will see something like this c:\winboard>
Now u type accuclck . Then u can start your winboard as usual.
Every time u want to play at chessnet u must follow about steps ie u must run accuclck before running winboard itself otherwise u will not able to enter chessnet. For convenience u can create a short cut to run accuclck without opening the dos prompt.
Right on your desktop point to new then shortcut. A dialog box will open.
Use the browse button to open your winboard folder. After that u wll see the winboard path in the text box of the dialog window. Then just add -p 1000 to the end of the path. Then click finish. Now u have a shortcut on your desktop.
Everytime u want to start accuclck just double/single click it . Bye good luck

Dos only understands 8 character file and folder names. You need to type from the C:> prompt cd progra~1 which in DOS will translate to program files.

4) Next, open a DOS prompt, go to your WinBoard directory, and type accuclck -p 1000. You should then see a message "Listening on port 1000." (Note: You may wish to set this command up in a batch file, so that you don't have to type this manually every time.)
