Exercise Creator is a simple command-line program written to take information from user input and create a valid .prob file to be added to a book of exercises. The output preferred by OSChess sets a file name of "FEN.prob," where FEN refers to the FEN notation for the board, omitting slashes and spaces, as well as information regarding castling, en passant, and move number. For example, if a position has the following FEN:

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

Then the appropriate filename would be:

rnbqkbnrpppppppp884P38PPPP1PPPRNBQKBNRb.prob

This convention is used to help reduce the incidence of duplicates in the book.

To use Exercise Creator, make sure that EC.exe is in the same folder, and use Exercise Creator.exe to create multiple .prob files.
