"These routines are only used to read & write headers & TOC"

Hmm, ReadInt calls _ReadByte, and PrintData used to call ReadInt, so it 
was indirectly been called for things other than headers and TOC 
already. Unless you consider the "headers" to include length integer in 
in each data block. I'm inclined to just remove that sentence.

I also note that the _Clone and _DeClone functions are a bit misplaced. 
There's a big "END OF FORMAT CALLBACKS" earlier in the file, but _Clone 
and _DeClone are such callbacks. I'll move them to the right place.

PS. Thanks for the cleanup you did yesterday.
