Could you build this?

No Reverse-engineering and converting legacy proprietary binary Word 97-2003 (.doc / Compound File Binary Format) into OpenXML (.docx) without host dependencies requires extensive binary file format parsing expertise.

What it would actually take: The package distributes precompiled native binaries (C++/Rust) that parse Microsoft's complex [MS-DOC] binary format and translate internal text streams, FIB (File Information Block), and formatting structures into ECMA-376 OOXML packages. The hard part is handling the thousands of edge cases, corrupted streams, complex tables, embedded OLE objects, and legacy encoding quirks of the binary format. This requires deep low-level systems programming and extensive domain knowledge in document specifications.
