Binary File Structure

[Radical Raccoon]

I tried searching with google but to no avail.

I want to know what those first several bytes of data are in qbasic binary files. For example, when you save a sprite in binary, there's apparently some header information. I'm coding something in windows to save sprites according to this format, but I don't know what to put for those first several bytes.

Anyone know?

If I remember correctly, it's just the segment:offs address from which you saved the data.
