If the DXF is ASCII, then it should read even newer files because the 
format is pretty simple. Binary. no chance. The DXFreader is C++ whereas 
the delphi stuff was pascal (delphi), there are considerable differences 
in the versions - though if the delphi code won't read it, then we may 
have trouble.

Please send test DXF (if you can) off list and I'll include it in my 
experimenting at home.
