Warning: geekery ahead.
Splitting off from the event organiser ideas thread, where someone linked to
O-Lynx. From that page:
WIFI was used for networking to the main laptop running the OE database, just the same as if using a second laptop with OE.
which reminded me of my long-standing bug-bear about OE, namely the database format behind it.
Has anyone successfully interacted with the OE database format using 3rd-party tools,
without needing a copy of OE running to act as a gateway as in the above example? I've looked into this in the past, but always come up against a brick wall where I couldn't work out what the DB format was, and my best guess involved a proprietary API that cost $$$.
