Then you should be happy to hear that Master-Timer, from next version
on, will use a "big bucket".
A set of "helpers" take "program data" (*1) convert them to a common
format and throw the data into the the "big bucket".
Master-Timer will then use the "big bucket" to create the timers.

This way only a helper has to be written, for another data-source, and
Master-Timer can use its data without further problems.


I also plan to use a "common timer" data-file. So that master-timer can
use the "merkliste" as a source for timers too.



*1: currently epg.data (This helper can use the epg.data and "LSTE") &
    the data-files from hesdvb.sourceforge.net/programdb
    (Anyone wants to volunteer another data-source?? And/or point me to
     another one)

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as 
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, 
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
