- After that, my information becomes really blurry :-I There seems to
- follow the name of the file, and some 0-filled areas, and after that the
- "first ASCII character after 0C0h" is said to be the start of the field
- names. Each field name is in ASCIZ. The actual records start after the
- field names, either at the 4th byte after 00h 02h (the sequence ending
- the field names section) or after 00h 02h 00h 00h 00h.
