Douglas, Have you considered just looking at the file with a hex editor and trying to figure out the format on your own? Their documentation of the data might be proprietary but it's your file and, unless there is something in the contract, you should be free to reverse engineer the file format. If it's a stream file it can't be all that complicated. The file might have an index that would complicate the format. If it doesn't then it might be pretty simple to figure it out. Maybe the file has some header format data at the front of the file (field and record sizes and such) which you have to skip over to get to the record data you're interested in.
