1. In engine versus engine matches, done in your PC, it is possible to switch engines without having to manually edit/load desired engine into Winboard's .ini.
Once in ICS client mode (Online), it is impossible to switch/load another engine. Unfortunately, you would have to disconnect to load another engine.

2. However, to change / load a different .bin book, you DON'T need to log-out from ICS mode (or online). To use a different .bin book for either your Winboard GUI or for your engine, just use the book-navigation pane for each one respectively (Winboard and/or engine parameter) and always remember to select "OK" after choosing your new book.

Foot note: Make sure you're using one of the latest Winboard GUIs, i.e, The Winboard Tournament Manager (aka Winboard TM), or, Winboard 4.5+ / 4.6. Ditto for PolyGlot. Use Michel Van den Berg's PolyGlot versions.
