Hello Even,

Thank you clarifying that PROJ documentation is not accurate. I had seen the 
source code before, but was hoping for a supporting document as well.

Based on your input and looking at the source code again today, I expect the 
data to be stored as longitude and latitude offset pairs, each value being a 32 
bit floating point number in radians, with east to west lines, from south to 
north.

Regards,

That must be some developper sense of humour. To the best of my knowledge, the 
best documentation of the CTable2 format is the driver source code:

https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/master/gdal/frmts/raw/ctable2dataset.cpp

Basically there is a 160-byte header, followed by the longitude and latitude 
offsets, interleaved, and with south-to-north line ordering.
