    A big Chess Tournament had just come to a close. All of the
players were gathering in the lobby of the hotel where the match
had been held. Each winner was going over their most brilliant
moves and stratagy. All of a sudden the cranky Hotel Manager (who
didn't like Chess one little bit) jumped up and yelled, "HEY!! I'll
NOT HAVE YOU CHESS NUTS BOASTING IN AN OPEN FOYER!!"

Go to the ftp.pitt.edu chess site and download SAN_KIT.ZIP.  It is
Steven Edwards' SAN package for PGN, in a regular PKZip archive for
those who don't have the TAR/GZIP extractors.
OR, since you should already have the source to Crafty, just look at
the EPD files in it, basically the same thing with some refinements.
Hope this helps.
