I searched through the archives of this group and could not find a definitive
definition of the MPD format (there were several contradictory postings).
So if someone can answer the following that would be great:
1) Which part is assumed to be the start in an MPD if there are multiple
parts in a file.
2) Do _valid_ leading lines get ignored? i.e. if I have a part reference
first, should it get drawn or ignored (this is related to Q1)
3) Is there any way to mark the end of an MPD? (i.e. prior to a sig)
4) Is it valid to refer to a part that is later in the MPD?
I think the following is correct:
1) Ignore leading lines up to the first '0 File ' line
2) Extract all '0 File ' pieces into somewhere that will be first in the path
when looking for files
3) Display the first file in the MPD
But I am not sure if there is a marker for the end of the MPD.

| (...) Well, here's my impression of the lastest discussion. (...) The first file in an MPD file is the one that gets drawn. (...) _valid_ leading lines are technically an error. There should be no lines before the first "0 FILE" except comment lines (...) (26 years ago, 20-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
