Actually it looks like a new magic header to me after decompressed. 46 4f 4d 42 54 15 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 That's now FOMBT > > Now it looks like binary representation of MOF.

Yes, and I notice in here even mentions of the locale (which was required to decompress using mofcomp too). 00000150 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00 00 4c 00 6f 00 |............L.o.| 00000160 63 00 61 00 6c 00 65 00 00 00 00 00 4d 00 53 00 |c.a.l.e.....M.S.| 00000170 5c 00 30 00 78 00 34 00 30 00 39 00 00 00 00 00 |\.0.x.4.0.9.....| > > > > > > > I pushed my decompression utility here: > > > https://github.com/pali/bmfdec > > > > Did you forget another commit for pulling in arguments and opening a file > > or were you just putting the whole buffer into pin? > > Whole BMF file should be on stdin (with that 16 bytes header) and is > decompressed on stdout. Oh my mistake, that wasn't clear when I glanced at it.
