Just let your programs do this work for you. You mentioned using a version
of Rebel. Once you manually enter in the position to Rebel do this:
Manually enter in the correct book move then take the move back. After that
just go to the menu where it says , "save to EPD". The move will then
be saved to the file you name (and with the best move recorded since you entered
it in). You will then have a big file of many epd positions you can share with
us.
