• BoolType (Class)
• AutoIncType (Class)
• AsciiType (Class)

• about datatypes (code changes 20.01.05) — A datatypes.Type is now a Describable. Replaced Type.child() by Type.__call__(): Instead of writing STRING.child(width=8) you write now STRING(width=8). I should maybe rename datatypes to "fieldtypes".
