7Large file support is now enabled by default on all systems.  This change
8has no effect on systems where off_t is always 64 bits (e.g. IRIX,
9FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X).
10
11Many compressed data formats are not supported.  This is currently the
12most important issue to address.
13
14Error handling is at the present quite robust, but more work can always
15be done in this area.
16
17SGI's Audio File Library on IRIX implements the following formats which
18this version of the library does not:
19
20	MPEG1 audio bitstream
21	Sound Designer II
22	SoundFont2
23
24I plan to implement some of these as time permits.  Sound Designer
25II is out of the question because of its dependency upon Macintosh
26resource forks.  Handling these files on Unix systems is simply not
27worth the effort.
