Actually, the xml format that MSP 2002 will write is totally
different from the mpx format (which appears to be primarily comma
delimited rather than xml tags).

The thing is, both MSP 2000 and 2002 will accept the mpx format, but
neither seem to support writing it anymore (unless someone knows a
secret trick to enable it.... anyone??).  If this is the case, then
developing an export to mpx format will work for MrP to MSP, but an
mpx import may not be as useful in moving MSP files to MrP.

Of course, Primavera Teamplay will export to mpx format, so there
would still be benefit of an mpx import function for the users of
that tool.

I hope this info helps.
