That's alright; we all have to start from somewhere.

You should probably use ubyte's for AmoundVFS and t.  I don't imagine
you're going to have a negative number of entries, or negative length,
so you're restricting yourself to 127 entries/characters maximum.

Although, if you're conforming to an existing file format, best stick to
that :)

The only other thing I can see is that index.readExact(&t,1) shouldn't
be necessary; you should be able to just use index.read(t), which does
basically the same thing, but is a bit cleaner.
