I was hoping not to format it but I agree with you about what that would
cause.
So I will format it in the VCL routine, need then a function to 'find it'
when reading a file.
Thought I would use the id 'DZ' (5a44) for the first level (needs single
fixed for other apps to avoid) then let the user use what they want to
identify 'their' data.
