Hey Matthias,

This is good information!!

A quick question. When you say "is there an indicator that the file could
not be donate", where would I look for this indication?? Would it be in the
file header itself? Maybe an external list? Anywhere else?

I ask to make sure that I'm doing a complete job at this.

Thanks.
