[ODE] ODEEd: Is anyone using it?

[William Denniss]

Hi,

I was in discussion with the author a while back and he was planning to 
create an XODE ( http://tankammo.com/xode/ ) export plugin which would 
mean the data could be used anywhere.  He was also thinking about open 
sourcing the program.  The .OED format was never meant to be used in 
ones own application, there are no guarantees that it won't change from 
version to version.  A format such as XODE is definitely preferable for 
this kind of thing.

I haven't heard from him for a while, so I don't know what happened.  
It is possible for anyone to create this plugin, but he is probably the 
most qualified.

I too really like this program.  What I have been doing is just using 
it to model and then creating the XODE files by hand using the values 
from the program.

Regards,

Will.
