Crafty can do this using the epdpfdr command. Here's what the help says: ------------------------------------------------------------ epdpfdr: Process file: data repair This command takes two parameters. The first is the name of an input EPD data file. The second is the name of the EPD output file to be produced from repairing the input. The repair process attempts to map all chess move data present in the input into Standard Algebraic Notation. This repair effort affects the am, bm, pm, pv, sm, and sv operations. ------------------------------------------------------------ Jeremiah
