Hi,

I was wondering if a reference of the on-disk format exists somewhere.
My goal would be to be able to create a partition using an external lightweight 
process without any dependency to the fastbit library.
I already know some basics from 
http://crd-legacy.lbl.gov/~kewu/fastbit/doc/dataLoading.html but it doesn't 
explain much about .dic files (for Category string), all the required fields in 
the -part.txt file and the format of the null mask.

First of all, i don't know if it is a recommended way of doing things (if the 
on-disk format changes often, ...), and if it is possible to create partitions 
this way, i'd like to know where i can find the most up-to-date information.

Thanks,
