Zipfile in SQL Server column

I have a varbinary column in a SQL Server database that's a zipfile. I'm using DBConnect to tail the table, but the question is how can I access the binary column and index it's content? By default dbx just shows the column as binary data.

TxErpResponse="*** BINARY ***"

Answering my own question here. This is not possible, so we wrote a simple .NET application that does the polling and then write it out to a log file.
