<p>An improved method of encoding data within directory files on an integrated circuit (IC) smart card is shown. Advantageously the improved method no longer imposes a limitation in placing the pointer data start address (23) prior to encoding of data, since after encoding a single continuous block (32) of unused memory within the directory file results, enables encoding applications to make better use of this memory space thereby eliminating the deficiency of having two non-sequential empty memory blocks as provided by prior art systems.</p> |
