Re: structure of archive level 0

I can decode type of archive and some few things (header), : but trying to extract one table from entire archive. : Seems to me the pages are not sorted in anyway. The first page : looks like header of archive, next seems to be tbconfig data, : and it continues with data pages - and I would expect systables or : something more "system"... Remember the old Foghorn Leghorn cartoon where he gets blown up by the dog and loses all his feathers? Well, his response, as he is picking up the feathers, is "Fortunately I keep my feathers numbered for just such an emergency". Fortunately, OnLine keeps its pages numbered as well. The pages don't need to be in a specific order (once past the headers anyway). We just grab a page off the archive medium, and put it back where it belongs according to the page number.
