Philippe, Like I said, I really hope the OSRS folks with freefrom RSP supplied data.
As long as there are clear and enforced delimiters, there should be no problem with parsing the output. (Thus making OSRS a good netizen.) Anyone from OSRS care to comment on my previous suggestions? Not as a complaint, but I am rather curious as to why this was not hashed out on the list before this was foisted on us.
