Testing would be great!  I've started the work on a new DataDraw.  I
think you'll like it better.  Some features:

- Persistent database capability
- New DataDraw language (kind of like SQL, but C oriented) for
describing data - no more non-portable graphical front end
- High performance memory layout - faster than accessing data through
pointers to C structures

I've got the parser running, and a nice example (DataDraw's own
database).  I've also started a manual.  I'd be very interested in early
feedback before things are set in stone.  If you get time in the next
couple of days, please check out datadraw:

    svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net:443/svnroot/datadraw/trunk
datadraw

Then,

    cd datadraw/newDataDraw

In this directory, read the dvdatabase.dd file (the example), and use
oowrite to read manual.odt.  The documentation on the C API hasn't
started, but you can read any of the .c files in this directory to get a
feel for it.

Thanks!
