Hi Christopher

Thanks for trying to help. The reason i'm looking for a tool that will simply
convert the final position to epd - when running pgn random matches in Arena
with testsets in pgn format, some engines do not count the pgn moves and
therefore their time management gets screwed up. So using epd positions will
solve this problem with these engines.

Regards
Dave
