+            Currently the type can be of type int, float or string.  The 'int' type covers bytes, shorts and
+            integers which is selected using a size of 1, 2 or 4.
+            An additional type called varword is used to represent a array of word values where the first short
+            is the length of the array.
+            The string type generation is only partially implemented.  If choosing string you must select a size
+            of 'var'.

             The Java records are regenerated each time the record generator is run, however the test stubs are

+            The record generation works by taking an XML file and styling it using XLST.  Given that
+            XSLT is a little limited in some ways it was necessary to add a little Java code to the mix.
+            This would probably have been better off done as javascript and may well be migrated in the
+            near future. Since the current Java code was written as a proof of concept it's a little
+            lacking in commenting and structure.  Since this is converted to Javascript this should no
+            longer be a problem.
