<p align="justify">Microsoft applications like "Word" or "Excel" let the user describe his

document by properties like "title", "category" and so on. The application

itself adds further information: last author, creation date etc. These
|

properties are stored in so-called <em>property set streams</em>. A

property set stream is a separate document within a <a href="../poifs/index.html">POI filesystem</a>. HPSF is POI's pure-Java

implementation to read (and in future to write) property set streams.</p>
