Corrupted Local Interbase File

I have a local Interbase Database file. I get an _lread error when I try to
connect to the database.

When I looked at the file, I can see my data. I tried to write a program to
read my data back out, but only the first (about 20K was correct).

Is there a utility either to fix the database or recover my data from the
database? Or where can I find the file layout to write a program to pull my
data out.

I am mostly worried about some blob images that are stored as blobs.

Yes, I have tried that. Unfortunately, that must connect to the database before it
can do anything and I am having trouble in the connection piece.

Is there anyplace that I can get the layout for the file?
