Are there any HOWTOs out there for learning how to determine the format of a file?  I am working on a particular reverse engineering project in which the application includes custom .xxx files that I believe are compressed zlib (or something similar) type of files.  So, I need to learn how to determine how the headers of the files work...and then how to write an application that will deflate/decompress the file.

thanks!
