Convert exact piano voicing to guitar tab?

It's been several years, but I found a free download that you could simply click a piano chord voicing into a staff, and it would give you the exact guitar chord tab - exotic chords, inversions, whatever.  Then a couple years ago my computer died, and now I can't remember the name of the program.  I have done several searches and can't find it anywhere.  Does anybody know of such a program?  I was very simple to use, and worked great for a non guitar player like me since I use a lot of complex chords and inversions.
 
Thanks!

    Do a Google search - maybe the one below will work for you.  There seem to be quite a few converters out there, though most of the ones I have seen go from guitar to piano and might not go the other way.

    Thanks, but that's not the one...it was much simpler and more direct to my specific goal (and free!).

    Frank Gambale has always been very interested in piano or keyboard voicings. He basically says that the keyboard is a very fortunate instrument and that it very hard to create keyboard like voicings on guitar. I have known Frank Gambale for a long time.  Back in Canberra (Australia) in the early 80's he was borrowing my Oberheim synth to play synth parts on his recordings. Out of interest Frank listens to sax players for his soloing and keyboard players for chord voicings.
     
    He told me about his alternate tuning on one of his last visits to Australia. (I am very lucky because I always get free tickets on his tours, Return to Forever being the last one and that was something!) He is pretty savvy by the way with keyboards and voicings. It is the way any chord is voiced that can make the difference. (on any instrument)
     
    This article explains his alternate string arrangement and tuning.

    Just an idea that is all. One could set up a second guitar this way. Be good to have a midi interface strapped onto a Frank Gambale tuned guitar as well.

    No, not Intellescore...
     
    More features I remember;  after entering the chord voicing I want on a staff, it would give me 3 or 4 four possibilities, and there was a way to then strum these and hear each.  Pick the one that has the sonority you're looking for, and print.
