In bop:
c0[+4] ... c9[+4] = page counters, \`a la TeX.
p[+4] = pointer to previous bop (its byte address); first bop has p = -1 .
In the font definitions:
c[4] = check sum for TFM file.
s[4] = scale factor, in DVI units.
d[4] = design size, in DVI units.
a[1] = length of the "area" or directory.
l[1] = length of the font name.
n[a+l] = area and font name string(s).
In the preamble:
i[1] = DVI format ID = 2, except TeX-XeT has 3.
num[4] = numerator of 100 nm / DVI unit.
den[4] = denominator of 100 nm / DVI unit.
mag[4] = 1000 * magnification.
k[1] = comment length.
x[k] = comment string.
In the postamble:
p[4] = pointer to final bop.
num[4], den[4], mag[4] = duplicates of values in preamble.
l[4] = height-plus-depth of tallest page, in DVI units.
u[4] = width of widest page, in DVI units.
s[2] = maximum stack depth needed to process this DVI file.
t[2] = total number of pages (bop commands) present.
In the post-postamble:
q[4] = pointer to the "post" command that started the postamble.
i[1] = DVI format ID, as in the preamble.
223 ... 223 = at least four "223" bytes.
