Thanks, I misunderstood the UCI/USI problem, now it's clearer. I installed uci2wb (and sjaakii and shokidoki), but the problem remains : when I changed the lines -adapterCommand -uxiAdapter on my .xboardrc (by the prompt command or in hand), gpshsogi or shokidoki don't work (but sjakii work without this change, and it plays better than gnushogi indeed ^_^).
I noticed that in the .xboardrc there wasn't first an -uxiAdapter line, so
maybe this line is useless ? Or maybe there is another problem in the
settings ?
I joined you a copy of my .xboardrc, it may help.
