Hi Ticker, I looked at a few more old maps (donations from a mkgmap user) with MDR16. They all seem to match the pattern with the prefixes 0x0b, 0x09, and 0x07 and the repeating of information. Maybe you get an idea what the rest means. Gerd ________________________________________ Von: Gerd Petermann <gpetermann_muenchen@hotmail.com> Gesendet: Donnerstag, 16.

Hi Ticker, the order of the chars seems to depend on the depth in the tree at which they appear. Something like this happens beginning at offset 5c in MDR 16: write 0x0b write 1st value at depth 5 write 0x0b write 2nd value at depth 5 write 0x0b write 3rd value at depth 5 ... write 0x0b write last value at depth 5 repeat 2 times: write 0x09 write 1st value at depth 4 repeat 2 times: write 0x09 write 2nd value at depth 4 ... repeat 2 times: write 0x09 write last value at depth 4 repeat 4 times: write 0x07 write 1st value at depth 3 (there is only one in this tree) No prefix, no repeats for the rest: write values at level depth 20 write values at level depth 19 ... write values at level depth 6 This decribes all bytes in MDR 16 from offset 5c to the end. No idea yet what the prefixes mean.

I'm trying to thing of other ways that might come up with what we see. I'll continue research. Ticker On Wed, 2021-12-15 at 20:18 +0000, Gerd Petermann wrote:
Hi Ticker,
do you have a link for me? None of the methods to store the tree that I found would produce such a data structure. This is what I found so far: https://web.stanford.edu/class/archive/cs/cs106b/cs106b.1208/assignments/ass... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/759707/efficient-way-of-storing-huffman-...
