You can, it is just a simple text format, so you can simply parse through it.

You will have to write code to render it to the screen and such, but the format is fairly simple to get the data out of. Once you have that, you can use DIrectX or OpenGL to do the rendering.

None, you have to write it yourself.

[si_the_geek]

try Wotsit.org or FileSpecs.com for a description of the file type, you might even get some code
