thank you.

uDraw(Graph) is published under LGPL and so we have to release the sources.
We didn't do this up to now, because uDraw(Graph) and all the tools are
written in a functional language called ASpecT, that has never been used
outside of our group and therefore the sources are not very helpfull for
others.

For the implementation of gml2udg we are using a small peace of software
written in C by Marcus Raitner at the University of Passau:
http://www.infosun.fmi.uni-passau.de/Graphlet/GML/
Starting with the result of this GML-Parser we create the ASpecT data
structure for the .udg format, because the .udg format is just an internal
data structure of the ASpecT language, that can be easily read and written
by ASpecT.

So, if you know functional languages, I could send you the ASpecT
sources of the gml2udg tool but I don't know if they will help you, because
I can't send you the compiler currently.
