Hi I don't understand why you'd want to add the binary header, to be honest. I can see why you might want to have the contents of the header as an ASCII comment section - but I think this should just be a check while developing the file format. Could you elaborate why you'd want it there? > Hello everyone, > > We here would, in fact, like to add our binary header to the CBF file. > Should that just go into an additional binary section, with MIME > header > and all of that?
