OK, you might never get to see the Startup Dialog because in the Sac Chess package WinBoard already finds all info needed to start up (e.g. what engines to use) in the winboard.ini file.

In that case you can just append the content of apothecary.ini to winboard.ini.

Since the engines are also indicated directly in that file, you could add an extra option in winboard.ini

/fn=Max1

to set the nickname of the first engine toMax1.

BTW, I have been running some Apothecary games at 40 moves/min with the new time management, and there were no time losses yet after 88 games.
