I *think* (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) that you have to
load and save EPD positions one at a time in Fritz. (I seldom work with EPDs
myself -- just the occasional interesting position that gets posted to Usenet,
so I'm not sure if there's a "batch" way to do it).

This is probably not what you're asking but, hey, I just woke up. :-)
