This file type is not very well documentet.

There is no header, but just at sequence of records, terminated by 00h 00h. The record types are both record type indicators and record separators at the same time.

The Comment record is identified by the header value 08h, followed by "a string" that can contain any character except 00h or 08h. There is no indication of length!

Note that 08 in record header can be used to comment out a mapping simply by replacing the 00h with 08h.

The convertion record is identified by 00h in the header, followed by the byte reprecenting the character in the dBASE file.

IF this byte is folowed by another byte,
this second byte reprecents the character that the byte should be converted to when printing.
If NOT followed by a second byte
this character is not printed at all.

Unmasked characters are printed "as is".
