Note also that J code which reads "packed structures" which were written in another language tends to look very "un-J-like". The data structures have a strong influence on the structure of the code. And sometimes you just have to roll with that.
Fortunately, a lot of what is written in such structures is largely irrelevant (allowing you to mostly ignore a lot of the problem cases).
