It's probably a binary format where you'll need to know the byte off-sets for each field. I haven't done it for this format, but we looked at doing it internally for another C15 (Nortel/Genband/Ribbon) file and decided against it. Turns out they had a free (if you have full support) program that would decode them. I've seen the AT&T Cabs files and never found an easy way to decode them. They used to ship us a CD with the files, but someone lost the program CD to use to decode it. On Mon, Oct 13, 2025 at 5:37 PM Justin B Newman via VoiceOps < voiceops@voiceops.org> wrote:
And yes, I know it doesn't contain the file format - but sometimes just having the correct definitions helps. I do think the file format's published _somewhere_ ... but digging it out is another matter.

Are CABS BDT files a licensed commercial format, or am I likely to be able to get an LLM or other local scripting to handle them?
