Thanks. For the record, the other GPL program that would like to use the
code is PalmBible+. (Currently it is using the code, but I hope that next
release it won't unless the code gets re-licensed. There is older,
probably buggier, DIA support code that PB+ used to have and can revert
to.)
Also, I guess, it's a simple bit of code and a clean-room rewrite would
not be hard.
