The format of SOUP packets (Souper generates SOUP packets, and
processes SOUP reply packets) is described in a file called SOUP12.DOC
which should have come with Yarn. If you don't have it, I could e-mail
it to you.
But basically, you have two formats. The first is the "rnews format"
which simply means each message is prepended with a line that reads
just #!rnews 1234566, where the number indicates the length of the
message after it.
The second format is 8-bit binary, where there is a 32-bits number
before the message, indicating its size. It is stored in high-endian
order, in other words, just as you would read it. Yarn stores it slightly
differently.
Example: 0x00 0x00 0x10 0xFF would indicate the message is 255 + 256 * 16
or 4351 bytes long.
Yarn would store this in a folder as 0x10 0xFF 0x00 0x00.
