Sometimes, there are data "gaps" in the file that don't appear to be referenced by any file - even by an inactive file. If you're only using the TOC method to get at files (the easy way) then you won't notice this anyway. However, if you're stepping through the file header by header, even reading the unused ones, this can cause problems. If you use my program to update a file with one that's smaller than the original (can happen) then it writes it in, but leaves a gap after it (of course). However, to help you out, after the end of the file, it writes a 4 byte integer saying how much more space to skip over to reach the next file header. This really doesn't affect many things - only tools (like my Advanced LGP Editor) that bypass the TOC to construct their own file lists. FF7 never notices a thing.
