Dan Coldrick commented on TIKA-3742:
------------------------------------
[~tallison] I struggle to get out the bed in the morning let alone read C/C++
and convert it to Java. I can make out what's it's doing but no idea how it
does the bytes read stuff which is really how the underlying bits work. I can
see how in the file there are the element types but again no idea how they are
mapped to the bytes, I've never had any dealings with C/C++.
I was happy after an hour pissing about on google I managed to get it to
compile (on Windows) :D

> Hi [~tallison] & Whoever else.
> I managed to compile the C/C++ library [http://dgnlib.maptools.org/] for
> DGN7 which produces an dgndump.exe which will dump all the data from the DGN.
> From my initial testing it looks pretty good.
> Would you guys think it was worth adding this or just keep it as a custom
> parser rather than in the main source code? It's under MIT license. I've
> attached the exe (zipped), a copy of the output from the dump and my very
> dirty testing calling the exe (my code I was only interested in the Strings
> so am only pulling those into a string array at the moment to check it's
> pulling out the correct data).
