Professional Chess Programs that correctly batch process EPD records:
HIARCS
Rebel Century
Chess Tiger
(Maybe others but I have not tried them.  These are all used in CAP)
Crafty does an excellent job of it also.  All the records in the CAP database
were created by one of the above.  (Well, almost all.  I also use Chest by
Heiner Marxen for checkmate search and sometimes even ColChess for a good,
old-fashioned non-null move search of a problematic position.)


Professional Chess Programs that can't:
Anything by Chessbase

Apparently, the new Shredder will also be able to correctly process EPD data.
