The program 'Gradualtest' by Odd Gunnar Malin can be used to run testsuites on
winboard programs. One of the nice things about this program is that it stores
the result of the testrun in an epd file. One of the purposes of that is that
you can interrupt a testrun when you need the computer for something else
urgently, and continue later.
In that results file the opcodes acd, acn, acs, bm, ce, id, pm and pv are used.
