I think that's an excellent idea; I was in discussions with Peripheral
Enhancements Corporation, the company that bought up all the NewerTech
stuff, regarding the source code for a while. If anyone else thinks they
can give me (and PEC) convincing reasons for PEC to give me the source code
for GURU, please contact me offlist.
Alternatively, now that someone has reverse-engineered the file format,
perhaps an enterprising developer could write a display front end for the
data files (which is really all that GURU is anyway)?
