Not sure of the state of this under OSGeo4W, or about the specific changes
to the SOSI driver in 1.11. I would guess the plugin needs to be built
against latest 1.11 stable source to remove that question from the
debugging process.

I am also unsure if the 2.3.0-81 nightly build includes the file filter
commit; though that commit may have nothing to do with QGIS 'supporting'
the format, since it is provided by OGR. Does it list "Systematic
Organization of Spatial Information [SOSI]" in the filter list in the
vector layer open dialog?

Can you share the test data file (if different than the one listed on the
GDAL/OGR wiki)?

Regards,

Larry
