Reading IBM Savobj on non IBM systems?

I currently read savobj files on non IBM systems

 

The software I use is QT by Shaffstall and IMDrive by Media Merge
depending on the type of data cartridge.  But each program has
limitations,  Primarily being it will not read the record layouts for
each file in the save object.

 

Does anybody know the format or layout for savobj files that I could use
as documentation for writing a program to extract the data myself.

 

Ideally I would like to get at the file layouts that are imbedded as
well as the actual data.

 

If the only way to read the savobj files is to run the as/400 OS what
platform would you recommend.  My savobj's are up to about 40 gigs each,
so I would want at least 120 gigs of space to allow for working storage.

 

Thanks in advance.
