metabase.bin file format

any knowledge of an existing file description?

[realmofillusions]

I am creating an application that needs to be backwards compatible with older versions of IIS. Does anyone know of an existing white paper that describes the metabase.bin file format? having opened it in an octal editor, see that there is what appears to be a header for a virtual server

IIsWebServer

followed by hex

fe fd 03 f7
03 00 00 01
00 00 00 02
00 00 00

followed by a header for a virtual directory

IIsWebVirtualDir

Im trying to add a virtual directory for a virtual server programatically, and if i can get out of back engineering it myself...:-)

Thanks in advance,

vlg

for anyone who was smart enough to look in advance at the microsoft site, and was nice enough not to point this out..

OH..if only i had looked first
