yes, correct

I agree. I'll change that so that we have two methods readStreamLegacyFormat and readStreamRawFormat.

Yes, my problem with the legacy format was that it did not contain such a format identifier.
I've worked a long time with programs on IBMs mainframe system (OS/390, z/OS).
They typically use an eye catcher to identify the record type and a numeric field that 
identifies the record layout version. In some programs, they have also a length field.
Old programs can read newer structures because the newer fields are only added 
at the end of a structure, and the length field allows to skip them.
I think this is a good idea, but we probably don't have to support all kinds of
versions in programs and files.

So, here is my suggestion:
instead of adding _raw or _quadtree to the 1st string I replace it with BND.
Legacy format is identified because it doesn't contain this string.
A new String field fileFormat  after the timestamp identifies the file format, 
either RAW or QUADTREE.
One more int field  recId identifies the record layouts used (0 for this first version).
Whenever a new format is needed, we change fileFormat, if only a new 
field is needed in e.g. the AREA section, we increase recId.
All methods that read the file verify that they are able to process the recId
or they stop with an FormatException . 
OK?
