One thing to keep in mind with the 1.x metadata family is that the three "versions" merely indicate where the metadata is located, not that one is newer or better then the others. 1.0 places metadata at the end, 1.1 at the beginning, and 1.2 4K in from the beginning. The 'correct' sub-version will depend on your application. -- Drew "Nothing in life is to be feared.
