The files in this directory contains dictionary translations for "binary" protocol data to/from "humanly readable" names.
Please see the official documentation for full details of the dictionary file format.
While these files are mostly compatible with the original dictionary files used since 1993, we have made some changes, and added new features. Those differences cannot be documented in a short "readme" file.
