Binary number through each symbol, in increasing order. Before examining binary counting, it is useful to briefly discuss the more familiar decimal counting system as a frame of reference. Decimal counting uses the ten symbols "0" through "9". Counting begins with the incremental substitution of the least significant digit (rightmost digit) which is often called the "first digit". When the available symbols for this position are exhausted, the least significant digit is reset to "0", and the next digit of higher significance (one position to the left) is incremented ("overflow"), and incremental substitution of the low-order digit resumes. This method of reset
Compound File Binary Format Binary Format is a container, with little restriction on what can be stored within it. A CFBF file structure loosely resembles a FAT filesystem. The file is partitioned into "Sectors" which are chained together with a "File Allocation Table" (not to be mistaken with the file system of the same name) which contains chains of sectors related to each file, a "Directory" holds information for contained files with a Sector ID (SID) for the starting sector of a chain and so on. The CFBF file consists of a 512-Byte header record followed by a number of sectors whose size is
