It would be nice to have a simple way to copy the programming of one

We played around with this some at the clinic and not sure what
happened. I think this.
1) You can open a file for the existing loco, say #1234.
2) You can then change the loco number, to #5678 and program all. Then
save. I think this works but we didn't spend much time with it and without
the ability to delete files (it's hard by hand) we (I) didn't experiment
much!
Did this replace the file for 1234?
Lots more decoders<
Of course the really best would be convince manufactures that DecoderPro
is the (only) way to go and they would create the files.
Perhaps if 'we' created a standard XML format (schema?) to describe decoders
and created a central Internet-accessible DB of those XML definitions we
could get more buy in. A common format would allow the central DB to be used
by all decoder programming tools and would allow decoder manufacturers to
produce a single description file.
