Subject: mhdump: a standalone MIDAS history dump utility 
While working on improvements to the MIDAS history system, I understood the data
format of the MIDAS .hst files and wrote a standalone program to extract data
from them, called mhdump.

mhdump is intended to be easier to use, compared to mhist. By default it reads
and decodes all the data in the given .hst files, with options to limit the
decoding to specified events and tags, and an option to omit the event and tag
names from the output.

mhdump is completely standalone and does not require MIDAS header files and
libraries.

The mhdump source code and a description of the .hst file format are here:

I hope people find this program useful. If you have any feedback (patches, bug
reports, requests for improvements), please post them as replies to this forum
message.

K.O.
