 ====== The EML fileformat ======
-===== Why is there a new format? =====
-With version 4, ENVI-met has changed the format of **ALL** system files, databasefiles and input/ output files to the new EML format.
-There are several reasons for that: First, with V4 a huge amount of new features have been introduced in ENVI-met. In any case, this required a complete redesign of the data structure and the contents of all input and output files.  Moreover, the old format lacked versioning information and was very unflexible concering the data sequenzes and the way the data was stored (fixed sign intervalls, all information in a fixed order). Hence, there was no way but to break with the old format and design a new one.
-For the Area Input files, import and conversion options are given through the editor, so you do not need to re-built them. For the smaller files (e.g. the files formerly known as Configuration Files .CF), you will need to re-compose them. That makes also sense as the new files also reflect the new model options in ENVI-met.
