StripPgn update + ValidatePgn utility

Post by Dragan »

I noticed that StripPgn sometimes gets confused by the stuff it finds in PGN of some playchess games.
So I updated the utility to strip both {} and () comments as well as the position markers that start with the dollar sign (e.g. 11. e3 $145 11... Nc6).

I also converted code I used to test Nebula's move generator into the ValidatePgn utility. This utility works only for files with the comments stripped.

Links to both utilities are at http://nebula.host-ed.me (refresh the page if you don't see both links).

Hope some may find it useful, since I had quite a few downloads of StripPgn :)
