It's probably a binary format where you'll need to know the byte off-sets for each field. I haven't done it for this format, but we looked at doing it internally for another C15 (Nortel/Genband/Ribbon) file and decided against it. Turns out they had a free (if you have full support) program that would decode them. I've seen the AT&T Cabs files and never found an easy way to decode them. They used to ship us a CD with the files, but someone lost the program CD to use to decode it.
