CAVEATS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The Audio File Library will continue to expand the	number of supported
     file formats.  The	ability	of these file formats to store various kinds
     of	Audio File Library chunks and data will	vary.  See
     afGetFileFormat(3dm) for some important notes about handling this
     situation.
