			=== Notes and Comments ===
			* The files are stored in a special way so as to reduce the amount of space needed to store the filenames. It does this by grouping the files together that share a common first-part of their name, and then building up the actual filename of each file by joining a whole lot of group names together.

			: For example, if we have 2 files called "sound11.wav" and "sound22.wav", you can see that they both share 5 common letters at the beginning of the filename (ie "sound"). This archive would have a group with the name "sound" and each of the 2 files would be saved with names "11.wav" and "22.wav" within that group, thus saving space. This space saving is only really benificial for storing directorie names though, as there is a lot of overhead.

			: Groups can be nested inside each other, so there is no boundary as to the number of groups that can exist in a nested way.

			: Also, filenames can be reused by using a negative number for the Group/File ID. In this case, take the offset just before the negative Group/File ID, subtract the negative number, and it will point to the filename that will be reused.
