Thanks John,

I am using the output of your TMG Utility. The logic was easier for me to
understand than trying to work out the formats of my TMG files.

I have all the decoding logic done in Excel VBA. I tried opening the text
file in Excel, but one of my sentences is too big to fit in a cell (>~30000
characters - I have a lot of census Roles to fit in one sentence!! <vbg>)
and it is truncated. So I am going to have to read the file into a "buffer"
variable which has a ~2 billion character limit - I don't think I will ever
need a sentence that long!
