  Hi All,
  
  I am trying to understand the word document format.
  
  But it seems I am missing somewhere in identifying the FIB block,
  
  After moving to the 24th byte, I am not getting the exact values. I do not why. In order to check whether I am doing the right thing or not I have written below test program for which I am getting alswys some unknown values. Even for the small files also fcMin position value is showing bigger than the actual file size
  
  import java.io.*;
  class WordTest
  {
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
  try {
  for(int i=0;i {
  File f = new File("c:\\a.doc");
  RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile(f, "r");
  raf.seek(i);
  // System.err.println(raf.readByte()+" "+raf.readByte()+" "+raf.readByte()+" "+raf.readByte());
  System.err.println(i+" "+raf.readInt());
  //0011111000000000
  raf.close();
  Thread.sleep(10);
  }
  } catch (Exception e) {
  throw new RuntimeException(e);
  }
  }
  }
  
  
  Can anbody give me the answer for this?
  
  Thanks & Best Regards
