It wasn't my intention to suggest that development of the other program 
should guide this one's file structures (he -will- be using XML, so if 
worst comes to worst schemas can be translated between each other, or he 
might just use this program altogether for reading the sheets etc in the 
end - basically, plug it into his front-end as the vehicle interpreter). 
  So I mentioned it because the only thing needed in that case would be 
a library-type implementation of this, or just what Thorsten suggested, 
which may well be a better idea. :)
