Any info/conversion for Topaz?

It appears that DRM has been cracked. Anyone have any information on the topaz file format/structure for potential conversion to Epub or mobi etc.?

Not really, from looking at the format briefly a long time ago, I seem to recall it's basically a container for scanned text. Each character is specified as a glyph or something similar.

Thanks Kovid. Not sure where it goes from here. I'm no expert on these formats, hopefully someone is and will be able to convert...
