+1. Description
+
 Libmspdatafile is a library for reading and writing structured data files.  It
 supports both a human-readable text format and a more compact binary format.
 The text-based format is designed to be compact yet clean, avoiding much of the
 redundancy of XML.

 The syntax of the text format vaguely resembles C.  Statements are terminated
 with a semicolon and substatements are enclosed between burly braces.  The sub-
