Hi
I would like to ask if someone of the vast
"ethereal"-community of specialists could help me solving a serious problem that
I have with an .enc-file that I cannot open any more.
This means if someone of you could provide me with the exact specifications for
the format of an .enc-file: what every byte in the header means, what the
event commands look like, how the tracks are arranged, etc. The same kind of
information that is - for example - specified in the MIDI file format standard.
If the format of an .enc file was known, the portion of the file that exists
could be analyzed, and a new header constructed that matches the data in the
file. So if anyone has written a program to salvage a corrupt
.enc-file it would be very nice if this person could get in contact with
me. Just for information: I contacted - some time ago
- Passport's technical support department at gvox.com (!?) and apart from
getting strange answers (such as: to buy a Disk Doctor program...!!) I
also had the impression that the company did not want
to release this information...! (Is this kind of information
a trade secret or some such nonsense???) Obviously technical support
people are not prepared to answer questions that are THIS technical....!!
I'm looking very much forward to getting a
response!
ciao
