# sc_epgn: prints the PGN representation of selected games in a
#   Scid database, with no comments, variations or nonstandard tags,
#   making it useful for email correspondence chess since you don't
#   want to send your opponent your notes and analysis.

# The "\" at the end of the comment line below is necessary! It means
#   that the "exec" line is a comment to Tcl but not to /bin/sh.
# The next line restarts using tkscid, the Scid Tcl interpreter: \
exec tkscid "$0" "$@"
