Russell,

No, there is no actual written documentation on the format that I'm
aware of. But the format is fairly simple and the code to read and write
it is available for review.

I think the bulk of what you might need to read or write the format
is implicit in the SHPWriteTree() and SHPWriteTreeNode() functions in:

   http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/shape/shptree.c

Best regards,
