You can create an FME Datasource, which is essentially an FME workbench that acts as if it's a custom format. You can only *read* these though. There's a sample available here that you can take a look at: http://redgeographics.com/download.php?downloadfile=NMEA-0183_compliant_GPS_log.zip Keep in mind that not everything can be handled this way. Specifically, there has to be a reader for the basic type of file available. In my sample, I'm reading a plain text file, so I've used the CSV reader. If you want to support totally new (binary) formats, you'll have to write your own reader, which is a lot more work. Hope this helps. -- Hans van der Maarel Red Geographics www.redgeographics.com / [EMAIL PROTECTED] Get the maximum benefit from your FME, FME Objects, or SpatialDirect via our Professional Services team.
