Notes and Comments

• The fields with size 1-5 use a special technique for reading the values, called Compact Indexes. It involves reading each byte 1 at a time, and checking the bits of the byte to see whether more bytes need to be read.

The structure of the 5 bytes are as follows...
sDxxxxxx Dxxxxxxx Dxxxxxxx Dxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
The most significant bit (bit 7) of the first byte indicates whether the value is positive or negative
Bit 6 of the first byte tells you whether you will need to read an additional byte. If the value is 1, you would then read the second byte. Similarly, if any of the D values are 1, you read the next byte.
All the x values form part of the number being stored in the field.

This is a very rough overview - you should search on the net for more detailed information on this (there is a lot of it)
