L3P uses this state-machine:

Initial state is HEADER.
             ____Type of input line_____
Oldstate     Bad line    0 FILE    valid
HEADER       HEADER      MPD        DAT
MPD          E+MPD       MPD        MPD
DAT          E+DAT     W+MPD        DAT
E: Skipping bad line
W: LDraw commands preceded this 0 FILE

This pragmatic approach has one minor drawback: it fails to report
error in a line (e.g. bad number of arguments in a linetype 4) if
the line has not been preceded by a valid line (so that FileType has
been set to DAT).

who is governing the specs on the MPD format???

i'm thinking of writing a quick little MPD merger/splitter • VB app... (seems
whacky that we don't have one already)... and i just need to • know the spec on
what MPD's entail...
all i can really see is the 0 FILE <filename> line...
if that's all there is then i can whip us up a • merger/splitter to handle an
infinite number of .DAT files in no time...

Don't forget that in an MPD, anything before the first 0 FILE
should be
ignored (on the assumption it's notes from the author, and e-mail
message, or something similar).
