Format details

The compression scheme is LZW with an 8K table, possibly identical to that used by Zoo. The CRC algorithm is CRC-16/XMODEM.

Identifiers

The default filename extension is .md, though some of the example commands inexplicably use .cd instead.

Identification

Files begin with the ASCII signature "MDmd".

Specifications

  • For information about the header format, see the source code, MDCD.PAS, look for "FileHeader = Record".
