Hi!

The blender file format is undocumented. This was done by purpose, because in 
its heart this is a pure memdump of the scene. However, there is a lot of 
decriptions stored within it that can help to understand what's inside. To 
make these visible I can recommend to you a simple tool named "dnadump". The 
original version is a bit buggy but lets you get the idea.

Converting blender files to other formats is tedious. The most advanced 
project that attempts to do this is blend2cs, a converter to the Crystal 
Space world file format:

http://projects.blender.org/projects/blend2cs

This is based on a slightly enhanced version of "dnadump", because I never 
understood everything that was going on inside this code.

I can't describe the file format in detail. I just found a way to access it. 
If you still want a detailed description go and ask Ton. He developed it.

Regards,
Gregor
