Examine the Terragen Terrain File Format/Design the File Parser

You can find the file format specification for the Terragen Terrain file at: http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/dev/tgterrain.html

Read through the specifications and start the design of how the file parser should behave. Notice that there a few "rules" for the format, e.g. there are some "chunks" that need to precede others.

Here's a simple flow chart of the file parsing process (granularity is minumum at this point in the design process).
