[Gdal-dev] DIG35 support

[Ayman Kamal]

Thank you very much Frank for your fast and clear
respond.

Do you mean that I can (using GDAL metadata API) read
and write the DIG35 meta data?

I checked
http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/class_GDALDataset.html
but I couldn't find functions for metadata, can you
tell me what functions do I need.
