[postgis-users] Converting ESRI Geodatabase

[Paul Ramsey]

Interesting, I did not read your question closely enough to note you 
are playing w/ annotation.
In general, the text I have seen in ESRI binary streams is just 
null-terminated ASCII. Perhaps you could extract some of the LBOs and 
post them here as an attachment and we can all open our hexeditors on 
it and give our opinions. :)
