Chess software that will analyze a multiple games in a PGN file??

I have a bunch of my games stored in a PGN file, and I would like to have a (quality) computer program munch on them and just give me the results, minimal annotations required, like inaccuracy/blunder/etc..  

Please don't recommend the chess.com computer analysis feature. Plainly, it sucks. After 1.e4 it says c5 is an inaccuracy, give me a break.  I'd like the program to have a reasonable opening book, and endgame tablebases.

Anybody know of anything like that?

 

Thanks,
Seth

SCID, SCIDvsPC, Lucas Chess, and Arena can all do this.  I personally prefer Lucas Chess.

Thanks for the info, but unfortunately I am on Mac OSX, I should have mentioned that...

SCIDvsMac will do it, then.  And plain SCID runs on Mac.

I'm not sure if it runs on Mac, but Komodo by Kaufman is a very very strong engine and is free to the best of my knowledge. I'm not sure it will analyze the game and give annotations, but it is one of the strongest engines if you are willing to look through the games yourself.

I doubt there's been much change, even in 9 years. I'm guessing Lucas Chess is probably preferred, with the various Scid flavors as an alternate option.

If finally using a computer try chessbase programs.
