[gme-users] RE: ESML integration questions

[Akos Ledeczi]

Vow! You are not even supposed to open mga files with a modified
paradigm, let alone a new "super-paradigm". I am impressed if
this works. The "official" method would be of course xml import
export. I would be interested to know whether that works though,
since I have not tried this myself.
