Hi Jeremias,

I totally agree with you here.  Time constraints did not allow me to
create a proper parser/object model for the AFP resource but it is the
only sensible way to read them safely - as your error reinforces.
It would be great to use your MO:DCA parser to improve this feature,
when you are ready to integrate it.

Thanks for your comments

Peter
