Sure - but you can build the metadata information directly into the format rather than going through a parse-and-then apply approach. A new format would at least provide an opportunity to represent PSVI information directly. -- Simon St.Laurent Ring around the content, a pocket full of brackets Errors, errors, all fall down! http://simonstl.com
