DoorScope now understands ReqIF

You might be interested to hear that DoorScope, the free DOORS data viewer (see doorscope dot ch), now also can read ReqIF 1.1 files. So there are now two ways to bring data from DOORS to DoorScope: a) as before by running the DXL script and the DoorScope ETL tool or b) by using the DOORS built-in ReqIF export. Of course a) still has the advantage that also history information is considered. 

DoorScope can be used to externally view and comment DOORS modules. DoorScope is a by-product of my work as a consultant and DOORS user. I developed it over the last couple of years because I wanted to take DOORS based documents with me and read them including all links and attributes without having to install DOORS. 

DoorScope supports the following use case: one person with access to a DOORS client extracts the interesting documents (i.e. modules including links, attributes, richtext, images, tables and change history) from the DOORS database and deploys them using an independent format to many people who can read and comment the documents without needing access to the original DOORS database and without installing DOORS.
