Hi :) I agreed with NoOp once he had explained the situation. Being able to read a 12year old undocumented and proprietary format is impressive enough. There are a lot of other interesting challenges out there :) Regards from Tom :)

I would not mind to try to support Visio 5.0 file-format. Nevertheless a collection of documents is not enough for us to understand how the file-format is working. You know that there is no documentation whatsoever for the binary file-formats, so what we need is an application that is generating those documents so that we can experiment with it. So, the deal is: Get to me a pre-Microsoft Visio that generates version 5 diagrams natively and I will do my best to add that file-format to libvisio. For the time being, though, only MS Visio 2000 and later is supported.
