Hello,

	I cam across this image recently


http://nova.nlm.nih.gov/WRAMC/DICOM/WRAMC%20VC-443/225017318462C331%20F2EA3F46FAE7321B/99B7F85B3D1343698B6D301746477DEF/2F612AF2451EEDF03AC73C7D19AF8033/FFBE146B651B2A44C6ADC12DB614E3ED.dcm
from http://nova.nlm.nih.gov/wramc/data_index.html

And I get (does not look like 'UL'):

V 130d|0000 [UL] 
[Group Length] [1099164365\1276292990\3804772504\555532589] x(4183eacd)
V 140d|0000 [UL] 
[Group Length] [835531882\1219434392\151033222\3313626383] x(31cd346a)
V 150d|0000 [UL] 
[Group Length] [4259307444\1128414896\4113509537\2144277863] x(7fffffff)
V 160d|0000 [UL] 
[Group Length] [3824301659\1114577058\3573223579\2679727550] x(7fffffff)
B 160d|0001 [  ] 
[gdcm::Unknown] [gdcm::Binary data loaded;length = 36]
V 170d|0000 [UL] 
[Group Length] [3850819895\1116855751\1080659125\3543366330] x(7fffffff)


	Since I am responsible for the '0000' => group length, I would like to 
remove it. Hopefully nowbody is actually using it. There should not be 
any problem since the instances are still available in the dictionary.

Anybody was using this 'feature'

Mathieu
Ps: I'll do that ~tomorrow when my brain is up and running.
