Well, Dimitris, I apologize for a) answering personally, b) quite some
time after your kind mail, but...

I guess, something's still not right. Getting the latest version from
the trunk was a breeze, and so was installing it, but it still won't
work. More precisely:

      * My old file still won't get correctly parsed (I get two nodes,
        no link, the nodes labeled "1" and "2"...)
      * Trying to create a new chart I can't get the parser to a) show
        the label, b) obey the directive to show the number in the node,
        and not on its side.

Sorry to bug you with this. I will file a formal bug report after I do a
little more experimenting. I am so eager to use this program, as I am no
hacker at all, but would love to have such a convenient
"organizer" (don't ask :)).

Thank you for your wonderful work!
