I removed it to avoid confusion but it looks like people do not want
to wait for the library updates. :)

I've never thought of doing that (I can't see a reason for it). The
only parts that LeoCAD have that are not included in LDraw use real
texture maps (take a look at the parts with the classic space logo), so
they cannot be extracted correctly.

LeoCAD can open .dat files without any extra work, just choose
file/open and choose the file you want. A little note: if the file has
subfiles, they should be located in the same directory of the original
file.

Here's the file, it's not very useful:
PIECES.IDX
char[32] "LeoCAD piece library index file"
unsigned char file version (currently = 3)
unsigned char last updated installed
PIECE_DATA:
char[8] name
char[64] description
short[6] bounding box (scaled)
unsigned char flags
unsigned long default group
unsigned long offset in PIECES.BIN
unsigned long info size
MOVED_DATA:
char[8] old name
char[8] new name
unsigned short moved count
unsigned long PIECES.BIN File size
unsigned short piece count
-----------------------------------------------------------
PIECES.BIN
char[32] "LeoCAD piece library data file"
PIECE_DATA:
unsigned long vertex count
short[] vertex data (scaled)
unsigned short connection count
CONNECTION_DATA:
unsigned short connection type
short[3] position (scaled)
short[3] up (<<14)
unsigned short group count
GROUP_DATA:
unsigned char group connection count
unsigned short connections index
void draw information
-----------------------------------------------------------
TEXTURES.IDX
char[32] "LeoCAD texture index file"
unsigned char file version (currently = 1)
unsigned char last updated installed
TEXTURE_DATA:
char[8] name
unsigned short width
unsigned short height
unsigned char type (LUMINANCE, RGB, RGBA)
unsigned long offset in TEXTURES.BIN
unsigned long TEXTURES.BIN File size
unsigned short piece count
-----------------------------------------------------------
TEXTURES.BIN
char[32] "LeoCAD texture data file"
