 ml>> the above is for full 5D BSO... if your tosser is not also full

me either, really...

 TL> This is for BSO format that both SBBSecho and Mystic (mutil) use.

if i'm reading this correctly, then yes... see here for the (almost) current

i need to move it to a git repo, though... then i can more easily work with
