I'm afraid the format of .mat is a bit unspecified. It is a pure ASCII text
based format that was "invented" in JellyFish. I'm really don't think there
is a good set of parsing and writing rules for these files. The different
backgammon software packages handles these files in their own way, making
them very incompatible to each other, and usually have some bugs. Maybe you
can take a look at the code in GNU Backgammon? I can't believe it's hard to
write a .mat file generator that produces files that GNU Backgammon can
read.
