SUMMARY
=======
The metafile file format, which is described in the Windows Software Development
Kit (SDK) version 3.1 "Programmer's Reference, Volume 4: Resources" manual, does
not contain the entire metafile format; the definition of the metafile
terminator record is missing.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The metafile terminator record denotes the end of the disk-based metafile, and
is the last record in the file. The function number for the terminator
(rdFunction) is 0 (zero) and the size (rdSize) is 3 words.
This information is needed for applications that manually read and write
metafiles, bypassing the standard graphical device interface (GDI) functions. If
an application manually creates a metafile, it must place the terminator record
as the last record in the file. If an application is reading a metafile
manually, it must terminate reading the records after seeing a terminator
record.
