Mine may prove to be a minor worry, but I'm on guard not to work with any materials that do not match exactly what Sun sent.
Thanks for any comments,

In all cases, a jar file is a zip file. To open it and view what's inside, opening it just like a zip file is the only option.
About the database file, can you elaborate on the format ? What is unusual about it ?
If I open mine with notepad, I can see words separated by "square" and other special characters... It is meant to be read as bytes with some minor conversion..
Which filename are you refering to and what does it look like.

Alex
