No, there is a bug or two.  I am not dealing with the convert field
properly. I should treat the comment pointer as a 16-bit value (discard the
top 16 bits) and subtract convert from the result.

I am also out by a few bytes as well, so I have to look at this some more.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
