On my to-do list for several years has been a J version of perl's pack() and 
unpack() functions.  Essentially those functions
define and use a small, concise, powerful language for describing and 
manipulating binary data.  By "binary data" I mean common
machine representations of integers, IEEE floats, null-terminated strings, and 
the like.  

Reading the URL you posted, it appears that the datastreams are binary in this 
sense, and pack() tools could provide the
foundation for a J/opentick application.

I'll see if I can motivate myself to write the tools this week.  Don't hold 
your breath.
