Can Datapump output in any format other than .dmp?

Hi

For an outbound data migration project I'm running, it's been proposed to use Data Pump to export from an existing database.  The question has been asked if it is possible to create the outputs into any format other than Oracle database tables (the end customer is not implementing Oracle applications).  One of the DBA team thinks that this is possible (eg convert to a "flat file" such as .csv or .txt) but we can't find any reference to this in documentation.  Everything I can find in MOS etc indicates that it is a database-to-database product only.

Can anyone provide more advice or direct me to some reference material?
