In Unix, there is no Winboard.ini, and there is no PSWBTM. So these components are left to brittle little shell scripts. One of the reasons that I want to make this is that I lost all of my old xboard scripts. ;)
PSWBTM does work on Unix because it is written with a crossplatform library (wxWidgets). However Winboard doesn't; so if it is really desired, and if someone has the time, porting Winboard to other platforms through the use of a cross-platform library would be a worthwhile venture.
