Hi,

Sorry if this is slightly of topic.

This is a typical dump from a file without Huffman encoding. (RGN 
Section 5)

All rows except the last row is related to it's sublevel, Row 2 to 
sublevel 2 and so on.

Explanation to last row
41 00 00 00 = RGN Section 2 Length
             3D 00 00 00 = RGN Section 3 Length
                         18 00 00 00 = RGN Section 4 Length
                                     01 = Flag (Not allways first 
sublevel per zoom-level)
                                        06 00 00 00 = End of first part 
RGN Section 6
                                                    13 00 00 00 = End of 
second part in RGN Section 6
                                                                15 00 00 
00 = End of third part in RGN Section 6

   1B 00 00 00 = Total Length of RGN Section 6

0B 11 72 2C E5 36                       : 0B >> 1 gives following byte 
length of 5
19 11 04 4C 91 D7 FC 4B 11 BE CC 8F 1E  : 19 >> 1 gives byte length of 
12 decimal
E0 00                                   : Seen E0 00 in other files
0B 11 72 2C E5 36                       : 0B >> 1 gives following byte 
length of 5

Shifting the first byte to give following byte length seems to be valid 
if the value is odd.
This is also valid within a byte array (amount of bytes in a sublevel) 
stated in TRE Section 7.

In a Huffman encoded file looks RGN Section 6 much more "random".

FC FF E1 21 1F 7E 06 FF FD 00 FC FF A1 8F 29 FB

According to this file TRE Section 7 it should be splitted as

F9 9F 7F F8 3E
80 98 7D FC 09 45 F0 7C
E6 E4 00

The question is:
Do anyone know what it might be in RGN Section 6.
Even a bit more than what I found so far is of interest.
Any hint in this topic is much appreciated.

Best Regards
