you can calculate the start of the string block via dbc headers record_count * record_size (plus size of header itself)

then you read a string until you find a 0 byte (this is called "null/zero termination")

first byte in the string block should always be a 0 byte for this reason, so that string fields with a 0 can easily point at an empty string
