Looks very nice in that it is much, much more ambitious than what I was
referring to.  However, it apparently doesn't work under NT/2000 and thus
probably also under XP.  And it's not a real Windows GUI app.

The very unambitious app I was looking for, and which would be quite easy to
create (I think), is just a true Windows 32-bit app that lets you paste in the
EPD of a single puzzle, select a couple options with radio buttons or
checkboxes, and click a "Solve" button that sends the puzzle to Chest and
displays the results in a scrollable window from which you can copy them to the
clipboard.
