DESCRIPTION:This talk documents the reverse-engineering journey behind the 
 OpenOrCadParser project\, which implements a proof-of-concept OrCAD parser
 . Starting from scratch in 2021\, we will walk through a systematic approa
 ch of decoding the binary DSN/OLB file formats.\n\n1. Container Analysis: 
 Discovering that OrCAD files use Microsoft's Compound File Binary Format (
 CFBF)\, which unlocks the ability to extract and analyze individual data s
 treams.\n2. Getting the Alignment Right: Using hex editors to identify dyn
 amic structures and achieve correct parsing alignment\, enabling a robust 
 full-stream parser.\n3. Understanding the Content: Decoding the meaning an
 d purpose of bits and bytes to extract meaningful schematic information.\n
 \nThe result is a proof-of-concept parser enabling an independently develo
 ped OrCAD to KiCad importer.
