Exchanging mind maps with Mind42

This is one entry in Vic's collection of information about how mind mapping software can communicate. Some packages have a built-in capability to import and export to other types of mind mapping software. Some software authors have kindly provided information about the format of their mind map or interchange files.

This is a starting point, from which this go-to source for interchange information, already substantial, will grow. Let me know about any new information, or any mistakes you spot: Vic at the above domain.
