There's something called chessprn from that unix ftp that never works that had
SCP, unfortunatly I can't get their ftp to work today _again_.  I think that it
makes some claims to be able to do that, but I have not figured the program out
very well, and I think that it's on a game to game basses.  Don't get your hopes
up too much though because I don't actually know if it can do the job, I'll pack
the code into a zip file and send it to you, I don't remember making any changes
to it, but sometimes I do make changes to makefiles just to get thing to
compile, but if I can compile it with dggpp you should not have any trouble at
all.
