For each line there is a 2 byte length, 2 byte line number followed by the data

bytes.
In DEC terminology those are words.
It goes: byte, word, longword, quadword, octaword. (8, 16, 32, 64, 128
bits.)
Halfword is something that I first saw on Motorola 68K, but maybe it's
been used elsewhere as well. But it feels wrong to use that terminology
on DEC systems.
