In every example in the corpus, @code{x1} is 240. The meaning of the
Observed values of @code{x4} vary from 0 to 17. Out of 7060 examples
in the corpus, it is nonzero only 36 times.
+@code{encoding} is a character encoding, usually a Windows code page
+such as @code{en_US.windows-1252} or @code{it_IT.windows-1252}. The
+encoding string is itself encoded in US-ASCII. The rest of the
+character strings in the file use this encoding.
+
@code{decimal} is the decimal point character. The observed values
are @samp{.} and @samp{,}.
@code{grouping} is the grouping character. The observed values are
@samp{,}, @samp{.}, @samp{'}, @samp{ }, and zero (presumably
indicating that digits should not be grouped).
+
+@code{x5} is observed as either 0 or 5. When it is 5, the following
+strings are CCA through CCE format strings. Most commonly these are
+all @code{-,,,} but other strings occur.
+
+@example
+font := byte[index] 31 string[typeface]
+ 00 00
+ (10 | 20 | 40 | 50 | 70 | 80)[f1]
+ 41
+ (i0 | i1 | i2)[f2]
+ 00
+ (i0 | i2 | i64173)[f3]
+ (i0 | i1 | i2 | i3)[f4]
+ string[fgcolor] string[bgcolor]
+ i0 i0 00
+ (v3: int[f5] int[f6] int[f7] int[f8])
+@end example
+
+Each @code{font}, in order, represents the font style for a different
+element: title, caption, footnote, row labels, column labels, corner
+labels, data, and layers.
+
+@code{index} is the 1-based index of the @code{font}, i.e. 1 for the
+first @code{font}, through 8 for the final @code{font}.
+
+@code{typeface} is the string name of the font. In the corpus, this
+is @code{SansSerif} in over 99% of instances and @code{Times New
+Roman} in the rest.
+
+@code{fgcolor} and @code{bgcolor} are the foreground color and
+background color, respectively. In the corpus, these are always
+@code{#000000} and @code{#ffffff}, respectively.
+
+The meaning of the remaining data is unknown. It seems likely to
+include font sizes, horizontal and vertical alignment, attributes such
+as bold or italic, and margins. @code{f1} is @code{40} most of the
+time. @code{f2} is @code{i1} most of the time for the title and
+@code{i0} most of the time for other fonts.
+
+The table below lists the values observed in the corpus. When a cell
+contains a single value, then 99+% of the corpus contains that value.
+When a cell contains a pair of values, then the first value is seen in
+about two-third of the corpus and the second value in about the
+remaining one-third. In fonts that include multiple pairs, values are
+correlated, that is, for font 3, f5 = 24, f6 = 24, f7 = 2 appears
+about two-thirds of the time, as does the combination of f4 = 0, f6 =
+10 for font 7.
+
+@example
+font f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7 f8
+
+ 1 40 1 0 0 8 10/11 1 8
+ 2 40 0 2 1 8 10/11 1 1

+@end example
+
+@code{name} is the name of the dimension, e.g. @code{Variables},
+@code{Statistics}, or a variable name.
+
+@code{d1} is usually 0 but many other values have been observed.
+
+@code{d3} is 2 over 99% of the time.
+
+@code{d5} is 0 over 99% of the time.
+
+@code{d6} is either -1 or the 0-based index of the dimension, e.g.@: 0
+for the first dimension, 1 for the second, and so on. The latter is
+the case 98% of the time in the corpus.
+
+@example
+category := value[name] (terminal | group)
+terminal-category := 00 00 00 i2 int[index] i0
+@end example
+
+@code{name} is the name of the category (or group).
+
+@code{category} can represent a terminal category. In that case,
+@code{index} is a nonnegative integer less than @code{n-categories} in
+the @code{dimension} in which the @code{category} is nested (directly
+or indirectly).
+
+Alternatively, @code{category} can represent a @code{group} of nested
+categories:
+
+@example
+group := (00 | 01)[merge] 00 01 (i0 | i2)[data]
+ i-1 int[n-subcategories] category*[n-subcategories]
+@end example
+
+Ordinarily a group has some nested content, so that
+@code{n-subcategories} is positive, but a few instances of groups with
+@code{n-subcategories} 0 has been observed.
+
+If @code{merge} is 00, the most common value, then the group is really
+a distinct group that should be represented as such in the visual
+representation and user interface. If @code{merge} is 01, however,
+the categories in this group should be shown and treated as if they
+were direct children of the group's parent group (or if it has no
+parent group, then direct children of the dimension), and this group's
+name is irrelevant and should not be displayed. (Merged groups can be
+nested!)
+
+@code{data} appears to be i2 when all of the categories within a group
+are terminal categories that directly represent data values for a
+variable (e.g. in a frequency table or crosstabulation, a group of
+values in a variable being tabulated) and i0 otherwise, but this might
+be naive.
