Good point!
I'll update the docs.
Thanks!

As I'm on that subject (docs).

To the developers (Mark,Scott,...):
In the "format.txt" file it says, "char*" where strings are part of the 
fields.
In fact this is "char[ ] (NUL-terminated)".

My first attempt to coding decoding (before using a hex editor) was to 
really
expect some kind of pointer there.

After wondering what a pointer might be in a file and using a hex editor
it soon became clear that "char *" is most probably the structure in memory.

See you,
