That reminds me of the system you had to use to move with that program that Eugene Nalimov posted the code for. I tried, Crafty wouldn't read that (worth a try) and I don't see anything in SAN's help that indicates that it could (but I didn't try). Have you tried looking through the utilities available at the Pittsburg Chess Archives? http://www.pitt.edu/~schach/Archives/index2.html I know it's a long shot, but they might have something. Pete
