If it is indeed an IB6 database file then you will be able to open it in Firebird 1.0.3, links here:
http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=files&id=engine_103

and inspect it using the isql utility in Firebird's /bin directory (not the one that comes with Mysql!) or Flamerobin (www.flamerobin.org).

Convert or export to mysql via text files (csv, txt)? There are export tools around that can do that, although not all are capable of extracting data from BLOBs. Flamerobin might be able to accomplish that for you, or you might like to have a go with the trial version of dbFile:
