I have no idea, but a C program could be written to parse and solve than in just a few minutes. Have you tried a chess database like Chess Assistant? It can do all sorts of marvels when it comes to looking for data and analyzing certain lines at your discretion. Considering all the effort you have expended, I am sure you would be glad of such a purchase. I don't have ChessBase, but I expect it has similar abilities. I fool around with SCID, but for serious work, Chess Assistant is miles ahead. And it ought to be, considering that there is a large team of professionals that do nothing all year except to work on it.
