It is for sure little complicated then a plain XML file. The format of binary
file is according to XML schema. I have been able to get C parser going to get
information from binary with one caveat - I have to manually read the XML
schema and figure out "which byte means what in binary" and then code it in C.
I do not know if it will be of interest or worthwhile to incorporate capability
in R to interpret schema and decode binary file based on schema interpretation.
Or may be this already exists and it is just that I do not know how to do it.
Anyway thanks for looking into it.
