I'm unsure about this bit In this case, the length can be given either by that field's name as specified for `bindat-get-field' Should it say you write "(fieldname)" instead of a bare name. Perhaps if the "([NAME] HANDLER)" bit was at the start of the section you could refer back to that instead of forward to bindat-get-field too. Also maybe an @multitable could show the possibilities better than words. I suspect it's one of those things where patterns or examples are easier to follow than actual description. :) integer fixed given length (FIELDNAME) length from a previous field (eval FORM) length from evaluating FORM (more on eval below)
