| From a first look the data of that field might be one of two things.
A) a 48 logical flag field that is accessed by some sort of bit handeling
system. (look in the oasis http://www.the-oasis.net/ I use one of the bit
programs found there in the same way)
B) an encypted field by a third party lib (good luck with that one)
There is only one way to see what that is. You'll have to look into the
source code and see how the app is using that field and find the functions
to help you convert the data.
