Once upon a time, in a universe far away, I wrote some C routines
to scan FilePro data files to find places where hardware glitches
would offset everything by some small number of bytes.  Basically
they examined FilePro header in the key file to see when things
didn't align properly.  IIRC, this only worked for key files as
the data files don't have the header part.

This was a problem on the Tandy Xenix systems, probably on the
Model 16/6000s, not the Tandy 4000 and later.
