Some data we have is stored in .mat files. Is there a reader/facility in FME that can access this data without invoking MATLAB?

As far as I can tell MAT-files are a binary MATLAB format, as such as FME doesn't support the actual format (see www.safe.com/formats), the MAT files could only be read with another reader such as the Text file reader if the data could be decoded first or decoded as part of the process with a Transformer such as the BinaryDecoder. To be 100% sure you could post a sample file to see if anyone is able to read the data in any way with FME.
