Thank you - I found all that in the sources. I was looking for dia.py 
and missed it.

Does anybody build Dia python bindings for Windows?

Unfortunately I have no experience compiling C in Windows. Maybe it is 
time I learned. Could you point me at a how-to suitable for the tools 
you require?

Would I need to compile the entire suite at the same time?

If so, and if I decided to stick with Dia would I need to keep in touch 
with CVS so I could repeat the process in future?

Thanks

Mike
