107 When the value is of type Index Position, you can left shift the value 4 times to get an offset into the Block Index. Some descriptor types can have Id2 values. This is recognised by using a bitwise AND with the number. ie val & 0x0000000F. if the result is 0xF, it is likely to be a Id2 reference.

115 Note: it appears that some types can have a IPOS value or a ID2 value depending on the size of the field in question. It is safer to check every field than for me to say what the "usually" contain. Absolute values though, are generally going to be constant.
