Any suggestions on how to do it better?

Presumably "graphical" programming tools like labview and gedae. But I'm not a fan of them as they are very mouse-dominated which doesn't do my RSI any good.

No, no, no. Graphical tools suck.

I'm specifically not naming what I'm talking about because I didn't have it in 1996, when I started; I just had the anger and frustration. That's where you start.

You can't get a solution before you realize there's a problem.

OK, for sake of argument let us assume that we realize that there is a problem.

What is this solution then? (It better not involve XML or Excel spreadsheets).

XML and spreadsheets would be lame. And they would both be better than a text file.

So what are you proposing then??
