<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Indeed, this was the documentation I was referring to in my email. The documentation was published in 2008 whereas the CWEC files were uploaded to their ftp site in July 2017. I had a feeling they simply did
not update the documentation when they updated the CWEC files so I wanted to confirm the dates used directly in the files somehow. Is this not possible?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
