hmm, when aran and i put together idm-r, we were talking with the
trainspotter people about making some common entry format so
that the stuff archived from idm-r could be accessed by the trainspotter
database. that was a long time ago, and i haven't heard anything from
the hyperreal trainspotter crew (or aran for that matter) for a long time.
putting together a large database like that is a lot of work...good luck.
