it´s not a packed record, it´s an object,
then i guess it´s ok...

i think i can see some reasons for this

i am doing an x-ray in delphi for it files and it shows that files saved with modplug don´t have 214/215 saved for version.
instead they have 888 for version and the pattern size turns do $100 which is beyond the limit of the it default format.
