The basic design for file formats is as follows:

1) Each file will read from a stream
2) (nearly) each file has a signature and a version, so
	a) There will be a base peek at Signature and/or version to determine the type
	c) once a header is read, the format can read from the point in the stream after the format.
3) each file format will have an internal data structure and a disk data structure
4) A factory model will be in place for all base formats (BIFF, item, 2DA, etc.)
	a) Each factory will be able to take in an internal type and export it to disk, given a version
	b) Each factory will be able to take in a stream, read the disk version andconvert it to an internal version
	c) Factories (such as BIFF, MOS, BAM, CRE and 2DA) will be able to take in a stream, identify the version, decrypt it or convert it to the larger version, and return an internal type
5) A dispatcher will be able to take in a strema and determine which facotry it should go to
6) Some sort of resource cache will be in place
	a) long term resources (such as GUI, rules, characters, "GAM", etc.) will stay in long-term memory
		* This includes "SAV" and "GAM" resources to edit in-memory
	b) mid-term resources (Such as areas, CREs, other CRE items) will be in mid-term cache
