Rgr. I'll defer to others on the choice. I assume Tom won't want any tool that's dependent on Java? > I doubt everyone's going to want to have to learn the tools. Big roger on that. I figure two to four at the most. I'm willing to learn what I can.

I'm willing to back away from the client/server model: That was born of lost of experience with Xastir over the years and determining in my head what might work better. If UML Diagrams & Use Cases can decide one way or the other what structural organization works best, that's more objective than a few aging brain cells. Your examples of other possibilities were ones I hadn't thought of in the Xastir context, but they'd sure be useful for other developers, post-Xastir. > Also, "add a layer between the daemon and the database" isn't exactly how > I'd phrase it. I'd prefer to think of it as "encapsulating implementation > details of the database." Six of one, half a dozen of the other. I know what's meant by either phrasing.
