I don't see all the same output from extract

Nice, clean work.  The only problem I am having is that when I run  
extract, I don't get as much output as your examples in the various docs  
about your tool.

Am I doing something wrong?

Here is an example:

bash-3.1$ extract myexcelsheet.xls
mimetype - application/vnd.ms-office
creation date - 2007-07-09T22:39:41Z
date - 2009-04-22T19:24:48Z
bash-3.1$

I thought I should be seeing all kinds of meta data like modification  
times, authors, etc.

Thanks
Hal

The output depends on what the specific format is, and on what specific
metadata was included in the document when it was created.  Not all MS office
files have all of the possible metadata set, and also our support for the
various versions of MS office formats can be different.  Also, different
versions of LE (and the libraries it depends upon) may cause different
results.

So you are not using LE wrong, but for XLS files that you create, you may want
to set additional metadata in the respective dialog for the files.
