[ODE] ODEEd: Is anyone using it?

Hey all!

I recently stumbled across the incredible ODEEd program (www.odeed.org). 
Personally, I find it to be a very open ended solution for accurately 
modeling my physical bodies. 

The only problem is that it's written in Delphi, and I don't know heads or 
tails about converting some of Delphi's datatypes to C equivalents.

I tried making an exporter DLL for it, modeling it after the Delphi template 
as best as I could, but no matter what I did, the editor wouldn't recognize 
it. So, seeing temporary defeat, I decided to try and parse the .OED format. 
I got pretty far until I realized that my lack of knowledge of some of the 
more obscure Delphi datatypes like its sets and whatnot was really screwing 
up my loading procedure.

So, all of that being said, has anyone using C/C++ successfully created a 
file format/parsed the .OED format for use with ODEEd? If so, any tips would 
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Julian Spillane
