I found a critical problem in the new format when working on the viewer implementation. The problem is that the viewer will not be able to find the navigation data (put after the compressed text/image data). One solution would be to add a new field to the header with the size of the compressed data or the offset to the navigation data. This will, however, make the new format non-backwards compatible. It should be quite simple to write a script that could convert documents from the new format to the old format (without the new features), though. It might even be a good idea to add another field that includes the header size (or offset to the text/image data) to be able to handle future changes without breaking the format. Comments? Suggestions? /Mike _______________________________________________ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev
