Title: VAT entry size
Post by: Runer112 on September 01, 2010, 06:00:16 pm

Quick question: the SDK says programs, appvars, and groups are all 14-byte VAT entries, but lists are 13 bytes. Are lists actually 14 bytes, just with the last byte not representing anything? It seems that having fixed-length entries is probably more reasonable, just trying to confirm this.

Aren't they all different sizes? Like programs, for example, their VAT entries end after their name, I think. You'd have to use NL (T-6) to find the length of the name.

Oh wow, I completely forgot about NL... yeah, I guess they're all variable lengths then. Dang.
