Can your program process EPD files? If so, you can usually just run the
whole set at a given time. eg I run WAC at 1sec, 5secs or 60secs, depending
on how much time I want to wait (239, 248, 280 correct, if you're interested).

Some testsuites have a set of "rules" which purport to convert the number of
correct solutions your program gets into an estimated rating. The BT2XXX
sets fall into this category. You can find some information in the "Web
Computer Chess Reports" section of the Computer Chess Resource Centre. I
think that the BT2630 "rules" are in the Chess Program Testing section,
which is towards the bottom of the page.

Hope this helps


Andrew
