The intent is to allow a PBEM GM for example to send out a turn report
and 
this to be read by a map making or a Java battle computer
playaid as well as the players in the game who just have a rules and
pencil.

The issue is about the transfer of the relevant state information
between 
different applications.

Any PBEM GM's got anything to say on this subject?
