Example below using CI Expert 5 -Volume 1, game 1.

It looks like pgn to  me, but I would defer to any pgn standard expert.

Another neat, neat feature I just notice.  It can take any pgn file and covert
it to an html file with the CI International piece/annotation symbol.  Serves
two items of interest for me.  It is able to convet any game in PGN to
universally understood CI symbol.  Once converted to html, is a snap to covert
to html format to pocket PC format.  I could do it another way , but this way
elimates a step for me.  I will soon have the entire CI series available for my
Pocket PC.
