Sorry, sometimes I just skip stuff that does not personally interest me.
I did not follow the thread, but this is what works for me:
To start Valkyria I have a .bat file with the following line
tclkitsh cgosGtp.kit -c config9.txt -k Quit.txt > log.txt
A second .bat file, 'DoQuit.bat', has the line
copy DoQuit.bat Quit.txt
Which basically copies it self to create Quit.txt. When the the CGOS
client sees this file it will disconnect the program correctly and
delete the Quit.txt file.
the file config9.txt contains
%section server
server cgos.boardspace.net
port 6867
%section player
name Valkyria3.5.14-4cx
password topsecretpwd
invoke ..\\..\\ValhallGTP.exe ponder enginelog Log\\log threads 4
priority 17
Note that filenames need to use double backslashes on Windows.
I think the name in this case the maximum number of character allowed.
You can have several sections with different invocations of your
programs. Then for each game started a section will be drawn randomly
with a probability proportional to the priority of the section.
With a single section the priority does not matter.
The files I use are tclkitsh.exe and cgosGtp.kit

Hi Matthew,
Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have python installed on this
machine at present. I'm trying to avoid installing more and more stuff
(you know how machines get bloated), so I'll hold off a bit longer to
see if anybody knows the answer to how to use the official script.
Surely there must be a few people out there who use CGOS? I see games
being played every day. E.g. there are two instances of Valkyria
(which is playing a lovely game), one AmiGo, Orego, Aya, RandomGo,
Stop and Brown, all running right now. Surely one of the humans behind
these players are reading the list? Could you help me be telling me
what command do you run to connect to the server? Or are none of you
running the windows client? (that also might be useful to know!)
I've added the info about the python client to the Wiki[1] to help
anybody else looking in the future.
Thanks again for the input - much appreciated =)

Thanks for the swift response (and Michael for the course
correction). Alas I have already tried that to no effect (see
command line output below). I have also tried -? -h -help --help
etc. Some of these bring up a help dialog centred around the TclKit
command line options, but no indication about the main application.
I had the same trouble with the viewer, but I managed to work that
out by trial, error and guesswork. Alas I haven't succeeded with
cgosGtp.
You might have better luck with the Python client, which you can
download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/cgos/-M-
