[CWB] Format for metadata files?

[Graham Ranger -- UAPV]

Thanks for your answers... No progress, unfortunately. I really can't 
see what is happening. I've created basic .meta files in the past, with 
no hitches, and the regex search-and-replace routines on geany and 
similar haven't yielded anything. I've tried ANSI, CR and LF line ends, 
etc. but no go. Will keep trying, but otherwise I may just end up 
putting this metadata into each of the texts -- an option I was trying 
to avoid.
Best,
Graham.
