1. Are the files in an MPD public or private?
Consider this example with three files:
town.dat
1 16 -40 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 house1.mpd
1 16 40 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 house2.mpd
house1.mpd
0 FILE house1.dat
1 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3003.DAT
1 4 0 -24 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 roof.dat
0 FILE roof.dat
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3043.DAT
house2.mpd
0 FILE house2.dat
1 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3003.DAT
1 2 0 -8 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 roof.dat
0 FILE roof.dat
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3068.DAT
For this to work as expected, "local files" in an MPD must be private,
and cannot be referenced by other "real files".
2. I suggest BuildMpd and M-Peedy should be able to handle MPD's too
as input files, and SplitMPD and M-Peedy should be able to split an MPD
correctly into the original files, both MPD and DAT.
You can use the town.dat above for test ;-)
3. Can I generally use the NOFILE meta command to skip the rest of the file,
i.e. also for ordinary DAT files?
Should it be renamed to EOF/ENDOFFILE?

| (...) This seems similar to the recursive MPD problem. At least with the lich.dat example the files weren't really recursive. It was just a matter of the ring2.dat file in the local MPD scope supplanting the ring2.dat from the global (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| I think this goes back to the discussion (from last week, I think) about the MPD format, and if it does everything needed, and if there should be changes to it, or a new file format. To handle nested files, and sub-mpd files, I'd go for a new (...) (25 years ago, 22-Mar-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
