My internal repository has several independent development threads. Only one of them is the binary format. The other development threads included patches that are already in and some have not been benchmarked/tested thoroughly. * The binary format. * Improved double writing for XML output. * A

Hello Jeffrey, Thanks very much for this. It's likely to be a while before I get a chance to look at and apply these sorry, but hopefully will find some time next weekend. Perhaps in the meantime if you have a current build of the splitter that includes these patches you could make it available

Here's a quick rebasing of the patches in Scott's splitter repository to the current splitter trunk. My Java dev system is down for some upgrades at the moment so I haven't even compiled these yet but hopefully I didn't do too bad of a job of resolving the conflicts. _
