This seems to me the easiest way forwards: create a standalone ''file transfer''
program that could send a GC report (well defined format, maybe CSV - looking
like a spreadsheet) to HMRC.

A separate program would probably be easier to get up & running and should avoid
any re-certification issues that might appear if these needed to be done with
every new version of GC. Such a separate program could also be useful to others
(ie non GC users) who need a means of submitting to HMRC.

I would be willing to help in writing/debugging such a (hopefully small) beast.
I have no doubt that it will be more complicated than I would wish.

I have not looked at the GC code, but I am an experienced programmer.

Sorry for the delay in replying - been on holiday.
