Kaitai - might be worth trying for new formats

Hi All

I came across Kaitai - http://kaitai.io/ - yesterday. Based on the 
experiences documented in this twitter thread on understanding + parsing
an embedded filesystem:

Looks like it might be worth a look for if we need to write our own code 
for a new format in the future!

Cheers
Nick

Porting our RTFParser might be a good place to start.

I’ve heard good things about kaitai… thank you for sharing!
