 14) 66:                         
0 1 2 1 0 1 0 -1 0 -2 0 2 -3 0 -3 1 -2 0 0 -2 0 1 0 1 0 3 2 2 0 0 3 -2 
           Hans has played 66.
 14)                             65: 8/2 8/3

           Hans has played 65.

I don't see how 8/2 8/3 is possible, as I only see one man on the 8
point.


the position ID I get at the point of the 65 is GeeMAWDHdhIIAw
                                                
The next move of 10/2(2) will also require adding a second man on the
10 point.

I found some documents describing the Paradox file formats, along with
a pascal program which is supposed to dump such files. I wouldn't mind
seeing a Snowie file just to see if it makes any sense in terms of
those docs.
