Hi Roger,
We are short before releasing a new version (0.6), which already has 
support for some file formats. Formats alien to xlog are supported through
a library called liblogfile and it would be nice if any of your work would
end up there. There is a release candidate for 0.6 at:

http://auric.debian.org/~pa3aba/xlog-0.6rc1.tar.gz

I am not adding ADIFF to 0.6 though, because release is planned for next week.
Development of xlog is coordinated through a mailing list, which you can
find in the CC header. Would be nice if you could join in. The subscription
page is at:

Adiff is already planned, but I guess you could take this task, if Stephane 
(F8CFE)
does not mind....
Version 0.7, which I am working on, will have additional fields:
GMTEND, POWER, NAME, QTH, LOCATOR and 2 free fields which you can define 
yourself,
so there is really no need to program you own fields ;-)
