LIN file format

If you do a google search you will find that there's no published format description, and there's very little information about the details of the format around the net. Yet there are obviously a lot of people who understand the format because there's a range of applications that can read or write to the format, unfortunately none of them seem to come with source code, and a some of their authors are regulars on this forum...

 

I think the simple explanation is that the format is trivial to decode just by looking at text within, that it's not worth the trouble to document. Would be nice though, to have an official 'specification' from the authors of the format, but for now we'll just have to make do.

as far as i know u can buy a license with a documetation from fred. however in a similar situation about 5-6 years ago i was told that they definately dont want backward engineering. so i stopped trying to produce teaching files 4 my pupils and just focussed on giving them the hands by using convertersoftware.
