I think so, too. I see MPD files almost like ZIP files. I know that there
are differences, like inside WinZip you can generally only view standalone
files without unzipping them first. (The reason I reignited this thread was
I wanted to make an MPD utility with an interface similar to WinZip). With
very few expections, you'll have to extract the zipped files you wish to
access. I think the same should apply to MPD files. MPD's are a little bit
less "open" than LDR's and DAT's
One more thing is that the more complicated we make the LCad file specs, the
fewer programmers will be able to contribute. I'm already completely lost
with some of the newer features.
