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.
