I'd agree with most of what has been said about the actual format, but I don't think it matters that much. It's more important that a range of applications support it. I'll adapt the Realtime HUD to support anything sensible that somebody implements. If we get another couple of applications then we have standard implemented.

I'd need a program that translates a site format file to the universal format file. It would be helpful if I could pass the program a start point in the file and get back a pointer to the last processed line - that way it wouldn't have to keep reprocessing hands that had already been converted.
