Hmm, judging from http://live.gnome.org/Dia the answer is that .dia files aren't meant to be human readable but only to be a storage format for WYSIWYG editing. I find this less than thrilling: it essentially means you *can't* edit the images any other way than using dia. (I'd bet a nickel that any small change results in massive changes in the file contents, too, which will be un-fun for keeping them in a VCS.) regards, tom lane
