--- Comment #6 from Nick Burch <apa...@gagravarr.org> ---
You'll probably want to use POIFSDump and POIFSViewer to see the raw data in
the pointers stream, get bits out to play with etc

Next up, try using vsdump to parse out the pointers from the test file

In TestPointerFactory you'll see some examples of the raw bytes of some
pointers, along with what they mean. We'll want to identify some pointer bytes,
what they correspond to, then write some more unit test bits like that.
Finally, we'll want to add logic to the PointerFactory to decode them.

One other thing - both LibreOffice and vsdump are under incompatible licenses,
so we can't take code from either of them. We can use them to debug, to
analyse, to test, but not to borrow!
