To run WAXMAN as a WinBoard engine, add the following line to the
engine list in your WinBoard.ini:

    waxman xboard [-h#] [-r[#]] [-b]

The optional '-h' argument changes the size of WAXMAN's hash table.
'#' is the desired size in Megabytes; the default is 64.

Use the '-r' option if you want WAXMAN to resign in lost positions.
'#' is the search score you consider hopeless; '-r' without the '#'
tells WAXMAN to resign, but only when it's about to be checkmated.

The '-b' option disables WAXMAN's built-in opening book.

For example:

    /firstChessProgramNames={...
    "waxman xboard -h32 -r-900"
    ...}
    /secondChessProgramNames={...
    "waxman xboard -h32 -r-900"
    ...}
