Thanks very much brad.
I was wondering if it were possible, to ask you a question or two
about the power tab 1.70 file format.
They are very detailed questions, for instance, about serializing
arrays.
I've converted your power tab parser from c++ to java, and now I'm
starting to debug my code.
There seems however, to be "extra" bytes in actual .ptb files that I
haven't accounted for and can't figure out :-)

If you're agreeable to it, would it be better to e-mail directly,
rather than clutter the forums with my questions, or would you rather
just use the forums?

Thanks.
