Quote - I knew I had another text about file structures.
All these texts were written by me in diverse proposals, none where ever published or used in actual products (in my work I do spend quite a lot of time writing proposals which are never implemented or realized with other solutions for practical or commercial reasons). None of the texts were ever checked against already existing practices or patents.

Read through your notes on file structure, I was originally considering XML particulalry for the TCP/IP server component to allow for ease of coding by 3rd party programmers, but after reading through I think perhaps XML might not be the best choice, but rather an easy to use API in various languages on both ends to allow for easy access to the file formats.
