EOF sequences being flagged as BOF

[paulyoung84]

For at least some of EOF sequences (may be all) these are being flagged as BOF rather then EOF, this is causing some identification errors. Example below.

PRONOM 2020

	<InternalSignature xmlns:pronom="http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/PRONOM"
               xmlns:fn="http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions"
               Specificity="Specific"
               ID="1386">

53434E54 454E4445

V96

53434E54 5 3 2 4 1 454E4445 -5 -3 -1 -2

These are the InternalSignatures generated by SigTool. Pronom2020 passes the sequence to SigTools 'ConvertExpressionToXML' and inserts the results into the generated XML. Sigtools also determines the offsets

Hi, that is fmt/594 - apologies actually fmt/1013 - going xml blind

[peterjohnlawrence]

Is the format causing DROID a problem?

Not clearly stated but it is a question for SigTool and how does it determine the offset.
