Use the source :-) </joke>

I run scidlet engine through "xscidlet" shell script:

#!/bin/ksh
cd ~/.scidlet && exec nice -n 19 scidlet "#@"

and I have scidlet.ini scidlet.sbk files in ~/.scidlet/ directory. You
can find those files in scid source package.

Move {historic,gm}.spf file into ~/.scid/ directory. If you want to
add photo, create 80x100 gif (with convert or gimp) and convert it
into base64, you can use "base64-enc <infile >outfile" with script.

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import base64
base64.encode(sys.stdin,sys.stdout)

The output add to the gm.spf file (look inside of it).
