The abc_triples.bin file contains all triples found by the abc project so far in binary form in the following format: c_1b_1c_2b_2c_3b_3 .. such that each c_i b_i form an abc triple: (c_i-b_i,b_i,c_i). The sequence is ordered in such a way that the c_i form an increasing sequence and for equal c_i the b_i form an increasing sequence. The c_i and b_i are stored as little-endian 64bit unsigned integers. The script read_abc_triples_bin.sage is a Sage ( http://www.sagemath.org ) script to read the abc_triples.bin file into a list of tuples. Usage: sage: load "read_abc_triples_bin.sage" sage: L = read_abc_triples_bin("abc_triples.bin") sage: L[0] (1, 8, 9) -- The ABC project
