  I'm not sure if this is any more clear:
  

  byte = one byte
  word = two bytes
  patt = pattern
  info = sample info
  
  MAX_POSITIONS_COUNT = 64
  PATTERNS_COUNT = 16
  SAMPLES_COUNT = 16
  MAX_PATTERN_SIZE = 64
  CHANNELS_COUNT = 3
  
  
  
  // Header 75 - 97
  
  +0000 byte Tempo
  +0001 byte Positions[MAX_POSITIONS_COUNT]          ; 64 bytes
  +0065 word PositionsPointers[MAX_POSITIONS_COUNT]  ; 64*2 = 128 bytes
  +0193 byte Title[10]                               ; 10 bytes
  +0203 byte LastPositionDoubled                     ; 1 byte flag?
  +0204 patt Patterns[PATTERNS_COUNT]                ; pattern is 64 lines = 16*[64*6+1] = 6160 bytes
  +6364 info SampleDescriptions[SAMPLES_COUNT]       ; each sample info is 2 bytes = 16*2 = 32 bytes
  +6396 byte Padding[4]                              ; four unused? bytes
  +6400 byte SampleNames[SAMPLES_COUNT][10]          ; each name is 10 characters = 16*10 = 160 bytes
  +6560 Samples Data starts here
  
  
  // (patt) Pattern 55 - 67
  
  +0000 line Lines[MAX_PATTERN_SIZE]                 ; 64 lines = 64*6 = 384 bytes
  +0384 byte Limit                                   ; 1 bytes
  +0385
  
  
  // (line) Line 59 - 63
  
  +0000 byte Note[CHANNELS_COUNT]                    ; one note per channel = 3 bytes
  +0003 byte Sample[CHANNLES_COUNT]                  ; one sample per channel = 3 bytes
  +0006
  
  
  // (info) SampleInfo 69 - 73
  
  +0000 byte AddrHi                                  ; Address High? 1 byte
  +0001 byte SizeHiDoubled                           ; 1 byte
  +0002

  Thanks AA, that does help somewhat. Still not sure what some of the stuff means (Limit? SizeHiDoubled??? Oh teh mystery...), but well... I'll experiment...

  Oh, sorry, my bad. I was thinking you are asking for Sound Tracker. Sorry for that.
