This will build some useful utilities:
mdb-dump -- simple hex dump utility that I've been using to look at mdb files
mdb-schema -- prints DDL for the specified table
mdb-export -- export table to CSV format

prcat -- prints the catalog table from an mdb file,
prkkd -- dump of information about design view data given the offset to it.
prtable -- dump of a table definition.
prdata -- dump of the data given a table name.
