I assume these strings of numbers are the stops? I've never seen them
expressed in this way? How does one know which stop a given
number corresponds to? For example what does
" 16.8.8.8.8.8.8.5-1/3.4.4.4.4.3-1/5.2-2/3.2.2.II.V.IV.16.8.8.8.4.4"
correspond to in terms of stop names? Is this based on same standard I'm
not aware of?

Zach
