Another strange project...

I did some modification of EGChessPro.
The idea is to have an interface to Popeye that solves chess problems without actually haveing to write any popeye problem setups.

It's a bit primitive right now, but it can attach to chess solvers and create chess solution output.

Thanks Dann. How is this supposed to be used? I didn't see any usage
instructions for EGChessPro.

I run it using the debugger.
Here is a sample command line that can be used:
-append -o results.pgn e:\dm5.epd
I think I am going to modify popeye to read EPD files directly and to write EPD output. The other tools EGChessPro works with (crafty and chest) already can do that, so it has no value for me. But I would like to be able to use Popeye as a solver in an automated fashion.
