That should never be a problem for my tool though. The tool I am
writing is specific to the INF help format. The tool dumps the file
structure to a text file. (I need this for debugging purposes)

When my app processes a file, it reads the first 155 bytes (header
information), then does a numerical check of the magic number in the
header. If it's an unknown value, it stops right there. If it's a
known value, it continues at which point it starts outputing the text
to file.
