This library has taken insight from
OLE: - libole : Michael Meeks, Arturo Tena, and Frank Chiulli - which was based on Laola : by Martin Schwartz WINE : Marcus Meissner, Francis Beaudet, Sylvain St-Germain and Thuy Nguyen Caolan McNamara's work
- POIFS : Marc Johnson
VBA: - libole : Michael Meeks and Frank Chiulli figuring out quite a bit about how a vba stream is stored. - OpenOffice : For confirming many of Michael's hypothesis' and supplying insight into the project file structure. - Costin Raiu, Kaspersky Labs [email protected] : For commenting that the dir stream had offsets too. That way we can avoid OpenOffice's trouble parsing pcode.
gzip: - zlib : for doing all the heavy lifting, and suppling gzio.c as an example.
