* TES5Edit's Pascal implementation, while allowing you to use the << and >> operators for bitshifting, will result in values of FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF or 0 instead an actual result. Use the shr and shl operators instead to perform working bitshifting. `FormID shr 24` for load order, etc. | * TES5Edit's Pascal implementation, while allowing you to use the << and >> operators for bitshifting, will result in values of FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF or 0 instead an actual result.

* Though the class can be instantiated, it is impossible to actually use <code>TFileStream</code> properly in TES5Edit, due to the lack of support for pointers and for related classes like <code>TWriter</code>. Non-class-based methods like <code>AssignFile</code> aren't implemented. It appears that the only way to write files is through <code>TStringList</code>, which always appends a CRLF to the end of a file and is therefore totally unsuitable for writing binary data. | |||
