Sorry, Lloyd, this won't help you because it's just a rant, but: Has anyone heard of any efforts to adopt a REAL universal information format? I don't mean phony attempts such "EDA frameworks" as we've all been hearing from marketdroids for decades now, but something like XML? I don't know much about XML, but to hear some software types talk, it's gotta be the best thing since [insert your favorite cliche here].
If XML could really work for CAD data, shouldn't we push Protel for it?
