You're probably right... Although I'd like to get back to 
extracting, maybe I should leave my system as-is for now to help with 
testing tools. *sigh*

Here's a though -- has anyone thought of using tcl to access the 
actual tyStreams? Going through tcl would eliminate any dependency 
on the underlying mfs structure. Is it possible? This idea occurred 
to me after looking at a snddump tcl file which extracted sound files 
from the TiVo.
