Hi, All. Perhaps http://www.devrace.com/ibsurgeon/index.php will be
useful too. Their service is chargeable but read-only tool which
allows to view gdb file in terms of it's physical structure:

Quick page search and table (relation) filtering.
Specific HEX-viewers for a certain page type.
Viewer of database header page information.
Data pages viewer. You can view all record versions and their system
flags.

can give some hints for subsequent usage of hex editor. This tool
does'nt use FB engine, so it will'nt cause garbage collection and
finally elemination of deleted versions.
