mbm-number the amount of moves it will make in book. It does one less than this number. i.e max book moves is always less than this. example mbm-6 to tell it to stay in book for no more than 5 moves.
mxA-1 through mxA-5 tells it to search to depth 1,2, 3, 4, or 5 as a fixed depth search. It will always search this depth. no more, no less.
To use program arguments after -fcp were you have pulsaratomic2007-8.exe put something like -fcp "pulsaratomic2007-8.exe max-2 mbm-10 rc-c:\program#files\winboard\myrcfile.txt" in the winboard bat file.
To test copy everything in the quotes, in this case- pulsaratomic2007-8.exe max-2 mbm-10 rc-c:\program#files\winboard\myrcfile.txt in a bat file by itself and click on it. It will open pulsar in console mode and you should have prompts for each program argument saying its been modified and what to.
The format is nameoffield

click on the console to see all the values you can modify and what their current values are. Be sure to type quit to close the pulsar console to free memory. The pawn advance table can still only be modified by the pulsar.rc file.
the regular version of pulsar ( code that controls 3checks, twokings, shuffle chessand regular chess ) can no longer have its evaluate modified by a pulsar.rc file as that controls atomic but you can use a pulsar2.rc file. Works the same as explained on pulsar.html for how to use the pulsar2.rc file. a pulsar2.rc2 file is not yet available.
