Well, I am not sure if you will be able to run GNU Shogi. The DemoPack was
made on a now-deceased PC running Win2k. I downloaded it on my WinXP
laptop, and the GNU-Shogi executable does not want to run there. It
crashes immediately, even if I try to directly run the executable, without
WinBoard. If I run it from a command-prompt box, so that I can see the error
message, it complains about an incompatible cygwin1.dll.

So I guess the cygwin1.dll that my current system has loaded is no longer
compatible with the GNU Shogi executable. The DemoPack does contain a
cygwin1.dll that is compatibl with GNU Shogi, butit cannot load if another
cygwin1.dll is already in use.

If you don't run cygwin on your PC, or otherwise can lay your hands on a
GNU Shogi that runs on your PC, it should run with the WinBoard and
InBetween settings in the DemoPack.
