Not aware of any such software that reads your hardware, but a search on Freshmeat has a few apps listed at: http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=diabetes§ion=projects&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 but they are a bit stale. One of them http://kpumpe.sourceforge.net/ does read other hardware (OneTouch Ultra and FastTake) and has a link to http://glucomodul.sourceforge.net/ which aims to support different hardware as plugins. Again, it looks a bit stale, but it could be a base to start from. Also http://ggc.sourceforge.net/index.php supports downloads from the 'Glucocard Memory PC'. Sourceforge of course brings up a heap more, most of which don't appear to have got past the planning stage (including one for your hardware that didn't even get that far). As an interim measure, you could try running it under Wine, CXOffice being the easiest way (albeit commercial), but normal wine would do just fine. Checking their app database at http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/ it's not listed but that doesn't mean it won't work, give it a try and maybe post a support request if it doesn't. Win4Lin or VMWare are other options, both commercial. There should be a way of do protocol analysis using any of these. Another option is to look for a Java app that supports your hardware. Longer term? If the existing data is in .mdb, then it's readable in the latest versions of the Kexi and Knoda database apps. Any new app would be able to import the existing data. Kexi could also make a good platform to build the app on. I'm no protocol guy, but I am a database programmer on the big iron, and I've been meaning to play with Kexi for another project I'm planning, so I might be able to help out there. John.
