XML is trivial stuff <partialtruth>(to a point)</partialtruth>.
If you can output text, you can output XML.
How do you need to output the XML to make it usable for your next input is a different story.

Thanks for the offer.  We could also just chat sometime.
Looks like I will need to take my existing data which is in one or more
data files and output it in some form of XML which I know next to nothing
about.  I'll be looking for tools and/or tutorial type stuff on that.

As I said, I was looking over some old C code from my DOS/Windows time
about 25 years ago.  I finally found most of what I needed so the main .h
include file will compile without error.  It was not as bad as I had
thought.  The biggest thing that was confusing me was the plethora of
include files and architecture variations I did not have to deal with back
then.  Trying to find where something is typedef'd today is a lot more
complex.
Nevertheless, if I continue this project I may be asking for some
assistance from time to time.
Basically, I wrote a scuba diving "log" program called "Dive-In" back
around 1988 for the same reasons Linus Torvalds did in the last few years.
Mine was better than SubSurface in a several ways and SubSurface is better
than Dive-In in a number of ways.  I still use Dive-In  and have around
780
dives in it, but I have to run it in DosBox or WINE and that causes some
issues for me.  I'd like to export the data to a format that SubSurface
can
import and that is essentially the project.
