IGC did publish a Waypoint File Format:

Yes, Tim, I have a copy of that, thanks.

I note that the BGA trigraphs seem to be compliant with it. However, I
don't think I've seen a device-specific TP file that is 100% compliant
with it. Are there any?

I also had a link to a discussion document about the IGC Waypoint File
format. The discussion took place around around 2005 and the document
used to be accessible at:

http://www.aviationkb.com/Uwe/Forum....erd-Challenge-
Google-TP-map

but it seems to have vanished. The aviationkb.com domain is for sale and
is now just a holding page. The Wayback Machine doesn't have a copy of
the document either, so does anybody know the whereabouts of an
accessible version of it?

I got the TP name shortening algorithm from Jeff Goodenough. It generates
matches for the TP names and descriptions in CAI/Winpilot format files
output by TPSelect if the input is the original TP name and trigraph from
your master list.
