I disagree with the last point but... don't feed the troll :)
(Oh, and my Trac installation can also handle svn repository, but 
Casetta feel at home at tuxfamily.)

Maybe, but TuxFamily say "Utilisateur Introuvable"...

I agree.

I haven't try to understand this yet. Sometimes, working on legacy 
formats may help to understand how data is stored (but don't try with 
the fxi).

And when I mean full g65 support, it's also (almost ?) full support of 
all g65 data in all supported formats.
Considering your work about g65 data, we can work as follow:
for all data:
	add classes
	add the transfer stuff
	add the cat support (usually easy)
	add the newcat support
And next, for all legacy format, we can add the support of all data.

Common used function for a given data type (like functions in 
pictures.py) will be added when they will be useful.

For file formats, I want to begin by cat, because newcat is widely based 
on cat, and if possible, it's better to keep this (less code), and 
sometimes cat has some good ideas (but sometimes not).

Not really for me... but for windows users. But I've always say I 
doesn't want to make more than the distutil setup, so it's not a 
priority of the project. Just an useful things, and because you've made 
some work on it, you'll make some people happy :)

Windows XP is already too fat for my qemu... So Windows Vista...

Yes, but not this night. I'll try to write the mail tomorrow.

Good night,
