In general Xy4 is the same as Xy3. Xy4 does, however, write Document Information after the EOF, if
DocInfo is enabled with Default IO=1. DocInfo comprises metadata including author, creation date and
time, modified date and time, revision number and several other items, which can be retrieved with
VA^xx, where xx is the appropriate mnemonic (VA^AU for author, for example). VA$DO tells you whether
the file contains any DocInfo (0=No, 1=Yes).
