Hi Nick,

Hey, I'm looking to recreate a decoder for NAPLPS, an '80s binary vector format, to restore some art games made at InterAccess in Toronto in time for the 35th anniversary of the project next year.
I thought an InkScape import plugin might be a great place to start--I have the NAPLPS spec and examples collected here: https://github.com/n1ckfg/Telidon
The holdup is, I've never worked with binary formats before, so I was wondering if anybody had advice how to best start tackling the problem?
perhaps look into https://pypi.python.org/pypi/construct or its Perl spin-off https://metacpan.org/release/Data-ParseBinary . Good luck!
Thanks! Nick
