NAME

   Chess::PGN::EPD - Perl extension to produce and manipulate EPD text.

SYNOPSIS

   From "Working With Epd Files" by Steve Lopez
   <http://www.chessbaseusa.com/portals/6/tn/Issues_Back/1999_autumn/1999_1031.htm>,

   "There's a lot of chess information available on the Internet in a
   variety of formats. One of these is called EPD (Extended Position
   Description) format; it's just a convenient way to provide a board
   position (rather than a full game) in an ASCII text notation. For
   example, here's what the board position after 1.e4 looks like in EPD
   format:

       rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/4P3/8/PPPP1PPP/RNBQKBNR b KQkq e3 0 1

   This was designed as a way for chess players and chess programs to pass
   board positions back and forth for analysis. You'll frequently see
   posts to Usenet chess newsgroups or other message boards containing
   these EPD positions.

   There's a quick, easy way to copy and paste these board descriptions
   into ChessBase or any of our playing programs (Fritz, Hiarcs, Nimzo,
   Junior). Just highlight the EPD line from a post or web page and hit
   CRTL-C on your keyboard. Then open ChessBase, go to the Game menu,
   select "Setup position", and click the button marked "Paste FEN".
   You'll instantly see the position appear on the board in the "Setup
   position" window. Click "OK" and you'll now have an "Enter new game"
   window with the proper board position on it taken from the EPD file.
   You can then save the position into a database just like any other
   game..."

   Chess::PGN::EPD attempts to bring ease and convenience to its users
   programmatically by providing a set of functions that manipulate EPD
   text.

LICENSE

                The "Artistic License"

                   Preamble

   The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a
   Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some
   semblance of artistic control over the development of the package,
   while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute
   the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make
   reasonable modifications.

   Definitions:

       "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
       Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files
       created through textual modification.

       "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
       modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes
       of the Copyright Holder as specified below.

       "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or
       copyrights for the package.

       "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing
       this Package.

       "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the
       basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved,
       and so on.  (You will not be required to justify it to the
       Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large
       as a market that must bear the fee.)

       "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item
       itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item.
       It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it
       under the same conditions they received it.

   1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
   Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
   duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated
   disclaimers.

   2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications
   derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package
   modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.

   3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way,
   provided that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file
   stating how and when you changed that file, and provided that you do at
   least ONE of the following:

       a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
       Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or
       an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive
       site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include
       your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.

       b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.

       c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict
       with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide
       a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly
       documents how it differs from the Standard Version.

       d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.

   4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or
   executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:

       a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
       together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where
       to get the Standard Version.

       b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of
       the Package with your modifications.

       c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly
       document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together
       with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.

       d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.

   5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
   Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package.
   You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may
   distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial)
   programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software
   distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a
   product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter within an
   executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere
   form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the
   interpreter is so embedded.

   6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as
   output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall
   under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated
   them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this
   Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this
   Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a
   binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall
   neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it
   fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do
   not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this
   Package.

   7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other
   languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to
   emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this
   Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the
   equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do
   not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the
   regression tests for the language.

   8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always
   permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is,
   when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible
   to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be
   construed as a distribution of this Package.

   9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or
   promote products derived from this software without specific prior
   written permission.

   10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
   WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
   MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

                   The End
