Decode and read binary file with C++

Create C++ classes with methods that will read specific data from binary files of the type attached. The files contain both numeric and text data and the format is unknown but they are not encrypted. The files contain some blocks of compressed data as well as uncompressed data. We can provide you with the app that creates the files on request. This is a great project for someone who likes working with binary files and perhaps also has an interest in compression algorithms. When you are finished we would like the C++ source code and simple documentation describing the file format and compression algorithm. ## Deliverables 1) Complete source code of all work done using only C++. The code should be able to be compiled with MS Visual C++ on a Windows platform. Use of MFC is OK. Use of third party libraries is OK as long as we can own the right to use it (non exclusively) and distribute it in executable form without any obligations to any third parties. The code must be well structured and heavily commented within the code so that anyone proficient with C++ and VC++ can easily modify it without having to spend a lot of time studying the code. 2) Coder will supply a simple test app, with source code and project files, that we can compile and run with VC++ that will demonstrate the extraction of at least 5 pieces of data from both the compressed and uncompressed sections of the file. The coder does not have to determine the exact location of all the data in the file, but does have to deliver some generic methods that will allow us to extract any data we determine later that we need from the file. It is understood that it is beyond the scope of this project to determine the ID and location of every piece of data in this type of data file, but it is expected that the coder will develop generic methods that can be used by us to extract any piece of data we later determine that we want. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). ## Platform Win 2K, Win XP
