</div><div class="im HOEnZb">I think we might be able to go with what was suggested back in 2007, namely<br>
that the code could try to do the import and use it if successful. The<br>
documentation could mention that the ASCIInator will be used if present but<br>
that its absence is not harmful. Thus the ASCIInator could be installed on<br>
the same system as roundup and roundup may use it if present but it doesnt<br>
matter that the two pieces of software have different licences.<br>
