That wasn't what I meant :-) The problem is: you have a score sheet (quite a
lot of them actually...) in ICCF Numeric and you want to type in the moves
fast and easy so you can save as pgn, cawin, cbh or whatever. Is there any
program that will let me use the numeric key board to type in the moves
_without_ having to translate the moves into Algebraic first? In the end I
want the program to translate the numeric moves to readable pgn standard.
