Format details
YP (v1.3-1.5) format seems to have a 24-byte header, but only every third byte is used, the rest being zeroes. This could be a hack to make the files compatible with older versions of the software. If so, there must be an older version of the format that lacks the header.
Identification
YP (v1.3-1.5) files apparently start with bytes (hex) 50 00 00 50 00 00 52 00 00, which might be a signature (Pablo Picasso's initials?).
