I have a full Oracle dump, I know I have to imp the dump with the fromuser touser clause.

However, I don't know the names of the schemas included in the dump. How can I open the dump created with Oracle 10g just to check and analyze the content?

Worth noting is that oracle dump files are a stream format with snippets of SQL embedded. You can also use sed to do substitutions on it, such as schema names.

Use the SHOW=Y option for imp

From the manual at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#sthref2498

When SHOW=y, the contents of the export dump file are listed to the display and not imported. The SQL statements contained in the export are displayed in the order in which Import will execute them. The SHOW parameter can be used only with the FULL=y, FROMUSER, TOUSER, or TABLES parameter.
