(Data) could be any data found in the file. It could be EXE
code, another database or any other data file.
Data is the set of data catalogued in the Dir. Each block of
data is < 64kb. A data block may be a small database. A database
may be any size up to the LongInt limit, except for databases inside
databases which have a limit of 64 kb.
Dir is the directory of data.
The Dir Size is a 2 byte word specifying the number of directory
entries. The number may be zero, indicating no directory or data is
present in the file. Unlike the InEXE file, in this database there
may be no data which is not catalogued in the directory.
