Just a suggestion, If I recall correctly, predict can supply the
tracking information to a tcp port.
You might want to consider just writing the text interface (and
any others that take your fancy) to read from a Predict TCP server,
Or even do something similar (disclaimer: I cant remember the
exact licensing conditions of Predict)
(Even if it is ran on the same machine, you should still be able
to connect via the localhost inteface)
This would massively simplfy any code written, and allow us real
nutters to run the tracking engine on one machine, while running
one or more clients on another.
