This project has been waiting for a long long time… but I decided to have another go at it: Parsing EPS Datasets.
Analyzing a whole bunch of datasets, I've been able to find some structure inside, b…

Some sites and companies are offering a paid service to decode FRF files.
There are open source decoders available on Github, but if you don't have the skills or knowledge to use them, it can be quit…
