One you may not have considered is Crafty's epdpfga command.
You will find (on careful examination) that Crafty's epd commands put all other
programs EPD analysis capabilities to shame.  That includes every commercial
program ever written.

Here are some of the commands that are available:
Black(0): epdhelp

Available EPD glue command list
-------------------------------
epdapgn: Append PGN game to <file>
epdbfix: Fix <file1> data for Bookup input <file2>
epdcert: Display certain score for the current position
epdcics: Slave to ICS at <hostname> and <portnumber>
epdcomm: Slave to Duplex using <pipefile-basename>
epddpgn: Display game using PGN
epddsml: Display SAN move list
epddstr: Display PGN Seven Tag Roster
epddtpv: Display PGN tag pair <tag-name> value
epdenum: Enumerate to <depth> from <file1> to <file2>
epdhelp: Display EPD glue command descriptions
epdlink: Slave to Argus at <hostname> and <portnumber>
epdlpgn: Load PGN game from <file>
epdlrec: Load EPD record from <file> <line-number>
epdmore: Display more help for <command>
epdnoop: No operation
epdpfdn: Normalize EPD data from <file1> to <file2>
epdpfdr: Repair EPD data from <file1> to <file2>
epdpfga: Analyze EPD data from <file1> to <file2>
epdpflc: Locate mating cooks in result <file>
epdpfop: Purge EPD <opcode> from <file1> to <file2>
epdscor: Score benchmark EPD results from <file>
epdshow: Show EPD four fields for the current position
epdspgn: Save PGN game to <file>
epdstpv: Set PGN tag pair <tag-name> to <value>
epdtest: EPD glue developer testing

I use epdpfga all the time.  The output is more detailed and correct according
to the PGN standard than the output of any other program.
