I'd agree, except we don't really -have- an internal format.  It goes
like this:


Assuming the dataset is in hash %CELLS.

For cell number X, cell contents are stored in
   $CELLS{"X"}

For a link between cells X and Y, over dimension D in the posward 
direction, we have
   $CELLS{"X+D"} = Y  -plus-
   $CELLS{"Y+D"} = X
