I stumbled over similar issues. +1 for providing some updated docs.
I've put my XML conduit plans on hold until something comes along.

I also got the distinct impression that integers are in the wrong
endian order, but as long as it's consistent it doesn't matter.

/ Mike Meyer <mw...@mi...> was heard to say:
| In working on my pdb->SQL tool, I ran into some gotchas in the
| documentation - by which I mean the "formats.txt" file.
|
| Most notably, the note title is not limited to an 11-character string,
| but runs out to a null byte. This is different from other string
| fields, such as view names.
|
| It also appears that unset dates have a month of zero, and unset times
| have an hour of 24. Could someone please confirm that?
|
| I'd like to add support for Link and Linked fields, but need the
| documentation on their FIELD_DATA chunks. Could someone provide a
| pointer to that, or the docs directly?
|
| Finally, not quite relevant, but does anyone know the format for a 68K
| floating point number?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
