+The first byte of the file is the version number. ArtWorks always writes <code>0x01</code>, but ignores it when reading.
 The next 192 bytes are a palette. Each palette byte should have a value between 0x00 and 0x3f.

		+	The remainder of the file should consist of a whole number of 80-character (160-byte) lines. So, the file size should be at least 4449, and should equal 129 (mod 160). But rare exceptions exist.

		+	Some files end with a [[SAUCE]] record, in which case the effective file size needs to be read from one of the SAUCE fields. Unfortunately, ADF is not a format known to the SAUCE standard, so a SAUCE record is not good enough to identify ADF, and can even be misleading.
