As promised, I cleaned up the Java code for very easily parsing through files in the ADS format. ADS File Reader has an incredibly intuitive, clean, and functional API that makes parsing through ADS files a breeze. You won’t believe how easy it is to burn through an ADS file (if you have to). I can’t imagine that there are a ton of people out there that need to do this, but if you wind up having to (and especially if you need it in a larger Java program) then you should be all set. As with most of my other projects, ADS File Reader is licensed under the Apache Software License version 2.0 and is available on GitHub. For more information and a link to GitHub, check out the ADS File Reader project page.

Thanks to all of you that sent in some ADS files that I could play with. It definitely helped flush out a couple of kinks. If you end up using this library please let me know, and definitely let me know if you run into any issues.
