If you want to do this one game at a time, CB sounds fine. But I believe you
want to do this for the whole game file, right?

If you'll email me a sample of the file, I'll hack up some code for it. If any
tag says "simul" or any longer derivative of that word, it can be judged as a
simul game. Any other special tagged games you want removed?

Best email is dm.451@juno.com

I don't need the whole file, just a bit of it (maybe 50 to 100 games), which
include all the tags that id the games you want removed.
