PPD Directory Structure (Not InEXE)

[Name] is a 12 byte CASE SENSITIVE string which can be used to
identify the data.
Number is a 2 byte word. This number can be used as a repeating
key, but you should use it as a unique key. For example, if you
have two different entries with the same number and name, and you
request this entry, only the first one (nearest the front of the
file) will be accessed. Numbers from 1 to 60000 may be used.
Number 0 and numbers above 60000 are reserved.
Offset is a 4 byte LongInt which specifies the relative address
of the data. Notice that this gives the address relative to the
specified FileStart. The address is the number of bytes away
from the front of this relative file beginning and thus 0 is the
first data position.
Size is a 2 byte word and specifies the size of the data found
at the Offset. The data may be up to 64 kb.
Attr is the field attribute.
