Hi Avneet,

the R2007 decoding works for some simple files but there are some things 
that need to be done:

- The way the color information is read
- changing all native character strings to unicode (unsigned short) and 
including a library that does the string conversion
- implement checksum calculating/checking (R2004/R2007)
- Check if decoding of all known entities/objects works correctly
- implement RS error correction (include the library that is mentioned 
in the spec)
- ...

To get your hands dirty you can start with the color decoding. I once 
figured out how it works and can tell you in prose.
