Hi Dave,

yes, I know!

I´ve especially written it as a tool for my own ChestUCI database to convert it
to a PGN file, and so it only handles my own notation (e.g. ´bm #10´ is added
as ´#10´ under ´White, ChestUCI´s special parameters are added under ´Black´,
and so on ...) - just try it with ´ChestUCI.epd´ and you´ll see what I mean.

But maybe there´s a more general conversion tool anywhere ... ;-)

Regards,
Franz.
