	Last time I checked, he didn't. I have the DAT files here (extracted 
them off a Windows installation of the program) and have been trying to 
write a Python script that would convert them to XML.
	However, the file format is exotic and inconsistent (just like VB, 
some would say ;) ), so I haven't found a way yet to write an 
"universal converter": the script has to be modified for each file. I'm 
pleased neither with this solution, nor with the way my script looks: 
it's ugly.

	At some point, such a converter will have to be written, though, 
unless you want to go through the extreme pleasure of going through 1 
meg of text files by hand.



	Hmm, I really should try to start working again on this web-based SRCG 
idea of mine... The whole thing just screams "database". Daaargh, so 
many things to do, so little time. I suppose no good mod_python 
tutorials have spawned since last time I asked, right?
