John,

   Did you need a .car file and a .mdf? And do you need to know what
information is in each column? I have a small boehmite system in .car/.msf
file. I can type up a brief note on what each column is.

Lubos,
  Thanks for the example files. I was unable to find .car docs as I got
lost in the mire of the MSI web site just as you did.
If anyone else happens to have specs for that file format,
let us know and we'll see if we can write a plugin for it.
Even example source code might be helpful if you know of other tools that
read it.

Thanks,
  John Stone
