Wow, this is so nice! Could you add some test coverage as well?

barthanssens commented 1 year ago

Sure, still tinkering with it (I guess I could add detection of endianness).

Currently it seems to work for a gsb file used in Belgium (https://www.ngi.be/website/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/NTv2-1.zip, CC-BY, about 5 MB size), but open to suggestions for smaller/other test files.

@barthanssens I was able to find europe/100800401.gsb 25.2 KB

Hopefully should work?
