I am a bit wary of saying much as Novell have a proprietary attitude
to file formats and they might get upset.  Of course if they said it
was ok, I could post all sorts of stuff...

Basically the procedure is:
a) get an inactive set of bindery files by running BINDFIX or by 
   closing the real bindery and using that
b) read the bindery files with a program that understands them

here is part of the contents of our bindery to give you the 
general idea (I have changed some bytes of the password)
