In Response To: Nactation and Zare's position (Nack Ballard)

Recently, Nack pointed to his Nactation tutorial in answer to Bob Koca's request for a complete set of notation rules for backgammon plays.

The context of Bob's request made it clear that he really meant complete in the sense that it would cover all conceivable possibilities. I'm curious as to whether Nactation has matured to the point where one can program a computer to unambiguously handle Zare's position (where there are 2226 legal ways to play snake eyes)?
