This assumes data is a pbyte or pchar (char * or byte *)

then & translates to @, and int64_t* to pint64 the first * changes to ^ at
the end:

   seqence_crc:=pint64(data)^;
   seqence_key:=pint64(@data[8])^;
   compr_crc:=pint64(@data[16])^;
   compr_len:=pint64(@data[24])^;

It's 1:1 translatable. Note the absence of @ and & in the first line though,
that is on purpose. (in both fragments)
