I think the difficulty with your search being fulfilled is that you are
hoping to have Emacs, which is GNU-founded "free software", find a way
to import data structures created by proprietary, non-free software. I
suggest that there could be a philosophical hesitation for some people
in getting free software to support commercial, non-free software. I
think we're lucky to get GNU Emacs available for WinNT!
