Well its that time again when I'm stumped, so its another "file format
challenge"
http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/challenge/mszp/
In this exciting episode we delve into the depths of yet another
compression scheme. The files here are almost certainly compressed
files, and almost certainly with the layout described in the
Explanation file at that url. Catch is that I do not recognize the
compression format at all. I have "suspected" plain text for one file
(all are very short btw), and I am guessing that it might be similiar
to the gzip/zlib mechanisms. After that though I'm out of ideas. These
snippets have been agonizingly extracted from .ivt (a msdevstudio help
file format) files and describe the "table of contents" of a help
topic.
If any compression freak recognizes the scheme or has any suggestions
I'd appreciate it.
