Hello,
I don't know if this is of interest, but I just dug up a file containing
my (incomplete) attempt to decipher an old EndNote database file
format. This was the original EndNote PC database format I think (the
original Mac format was different?) I know the format has recently
changed with EndNote 8 (and did it change with EndNote 5 too?) But
perhaps there is some similarity?
If I remember correctly, the general layout of the file was that it was
made up of blocks of 512 bytes, the information I could figure out about
each block type is given below, I think the numbers in brackets
represent the number of bytes used.
Cheers.
