> Isnt it 4 bytes for the number, and four bytes pointing to where the first four bytes are?

i doubt that, the first 4 bytes appear to be a type id (integers are 1 and floats are 2) followed by 4 bytes for the value. data is stacked and then pointed to by labels.

also, i just thought that you could store binary data as 4-byte values and then specify the number of bytes to read, that would be better than hex-byte strings by one byte.
