i reverse engineered this baby a long time ago :)
the file streaming format is not really documented anywhere, but
internally, it is stored in a standard .pdb file format, in 4Kb
chunks :) - each starting with a label of "DBLK".

well.. not possible :) the .prc file is not in the same format as
required to read a file stream :)
what you need to do is
a) open the database (.prc)
b) get each resource one by one..
c) stream each chunk :)
not too difficult :) your hardest part will be re-constructing the
resource table + .prc header..
