Yes. But equally, the third-party software providers
[like SeeYou] should be encouraged to ensure that their
download software is and remains fully compatible with
FAI validity checking requirements. I suspect that
in practice more people like to download with full
analysis software rather than download first with hardware
manufacturer's programs and then open into analysis
packages.

The whole point Ian, is that third party software should use the latest
version of the manufacturers DLL (which is freeware), then the download
and validation performed by via program will be up to date by default.
In other words, the manufacturer's DLL becomes an integral part of the
analysis software.

I would expect that when these DLLs become available, writers of
analysis packages will not be slow to interface into them. The interface
is published in the Flight Recorder Specification Document and has been
for some time.

What is disappointing is poor take-up rate by manufacturers.
