You said this also to Dan Corbit. I think Shredder's EPD >>capability is fair, but could be much improved; namely Shredder IMPORTS EPD >>correctly, but its OUPUT is *not* EPD compatible.

But, also, in your defence, I believe all this took place right around your win in the WMCCC so quite possibly the EPD stuff got lost in the excitement. The awk script that I wrote searches the Shredder dump output file for the last line in it's evaluation of the position and then formats that to the standard EPD format. If Shredder were to have an option to generate a standard EPD format file, in addition to the dump file, that would satisfy everyone's wish (I believe). Possibly that option could be a standard feature of analyzing an EPD file. Regards, Steve
