It's unlikely that I can? That's a strong statement. Binary file formats are not difficult. Writing code that does the right thing is also not difficult. I am opposed to the blind use of libraries like this. Developers need to understand what they're doing and how what they're doing is being done at a reasonably low level if they ever hope to become better developers. Masking it all away behind a third party library is not how you understand the code that's running on your systems.
