SFF-Fileformat

[Daniel Kruge]

Hello Group!

I am interested in understanding the SFF-Fileformat. I just know, that
the pages in in are compressed with a Huffman-like alhorithm.

Is the specification of the format opensource?


with best regards,
Dan.K.

The specification is not licensed under the GNU Free Documentation
License or something similar like Creative Commons, but it's
part of the CAPI-specification and can be downloaded freely
at www.capi.org

Just go to http://www.capi.org/download/capi20-1.pdf, page 153.
The Modified Huffman Algorithm is just mentioned but there are
a lot of examples out there and dependent on the way you read
in the data you have to reverse the bit-order to get correct results.
