Subject: making diagrams for MS Word document

Hi,

I've been looking at the chess stuff at www.enpassant.dk, trying to figure out
the best way to make diagrams of chess positions.

I read the README.DOC for FEN2DIAG, by Alistair Scott.  The chess boards that
come out seem to have horizontal line gaps, though perhaps that's just the font
being used.

I've also checked out EPD2DIAG, which was able to output a nice diagram to the
clipboard for me, but I have 260 diagrams, not just a few, and it doesn't allow
me to select them all and output them.  Also, the diagram has no indicator for
which side is to move.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how best to generate a reasonably large set
of diagrams for use in MS Word?  Is there free stuff out there that does what I
want?  Is there commercial stuff out there that will do it well?

Dave
