Tom's Simple Engine Manager is a utility used for adding, deleting and editing chess engines for Winboard. With this utility you no longer need to manually edit the winboard.ini file which will save you time and hassle. The utility supports the most commonly used options for Winboard engines like setting the protocol version, set the reuse option, program startup string and initialisation string.  Installation Simply place the EngMan.exe program in the same directory as the your Winboard.ini file and double click to start it. Important - Before you use this utility, please make a back up of your winboard.ini file. When this program starts, it will read the winboard.ini to extract information about the engines you have installed. The program in some cases may have difficulty interpreting the information in the winboard.ini file if lines contain inconsistent or wrong information, like having a start quote with no end quote etc. To simplify the management of chess engines, this program is not designed to keep a separate first and second engine list. The utility will make the second engine list the same as the first engine list when it edits the winboard.ini file. If your first and second engine lists are different then care should be taken when using this utility because it will modify both lists to be the same.
