You would not even have to copy the exe. You would just have to browse to it again, and this time write something in the Nickname field of the Load Engine dialog before OK'ing it. You could tick "use nickname in PGN" too.

And indeed, the /pieceToCharTable should be the string in the fmax.ini definition. Ifsuch a string is given in fmax.ini, Fairy-Max will send WinBoard a 'setup' command at the start of the game, which will set the pieceToCharTable, and the initial position. But this in fact is just a recet enhancement of WinBoard; originally the pieceToCharTable could only be set through this option.
