I haven't been able to get full use out of DJ6 (and consequently haven't
upgraded to DJ7) because the interface doesn't support EPD.  It didn't occur to
me that the interface might support some psuedo-PGN like

>>[Event "Computer Chess Test Suite"]
>>[Site "EPD2diag V1.5"]
>>[Date "1998.08.16"]
>>[Round "?"]
>>[White "ECE3.0001"]
>>[Black "Ra2+"]
>>[Result "*"]
>>[SetUp "1"]
>>[FEN "R7/8/8/8/3K4/8/3kp3/8 w - - 0 1"]

though, is that for real?  If I could take a collection of EPD positions, turn
them into a multi-"game" PGN file, batch analyze them, then convert the results
back to EPD format, that would be great.  Indeed, it would be so great that it
would be worth my while to write the EPD->PGN and PGN->EPD converters if they
don't already exist.

Does anyone know if this is possible?
