For example, the F7 GUI supports the en passant square information in the FEN:

Fritz 7 - Scheidl,M
5K2/8/2qk4/2nPp3/3r4/6B1/B7/3R4 w - e6 0 1

Analysis by Fritz 7:

1.dxe6#
  +-  (#1)   Tiefe: 2/4   00:00:00
  +-  (#1)   Tiefe: 2/4   00:00:00

Btw. did you ever wonder what the "0" means before the move number at the end of
the FEN string? This is the 50 move counter which probably (?) is not supported
by any chess program, yet. This means, the export/import of a FEN will not be
100% correct, i.e. if you take a position from the end of a long drawn game...

Is there a program which correctly handles the FEN 50 move counter?
