This info is in the file format description:
"appInfoID The local offset from the beginning of the database
header data to the start of the optional, application-specific appInfo
block.
This value is set to NULL for databases that do not include an
appInfo block."
The appInfoID is an offset value as stated. The offset value should be
something like (8*numRecords+ 80). The actual block follows the
record headers. You can find it at:
