stree2018.bin  - Not a MeSH vocabulary file.  This file was created by us
                 specifically for the Repository.  The file contains a mapping
                 of MeSH Heading to Semantic Type per the given year.  The 
                 file was created using a combination of the d2018.bin "ST ="
                 fields and relevent UMLS files (MRCON, MRSTY) appropriate
                 to the given year.
