Example File

Shown below is an example view of a .CHN file in HEXADECIMAL notation.  The byte numbers
are along the left side of the viewer.  Boxed in white is first the DATA start offset and it can be
seen that starting at the byte specified in this offset is the actual sample data.  Note that it is
prefaced by trailing "00" from the previous value and from then on, all sample data is
consistently non-zero.
