- The dBase data format is well published and it is relatively easy to
- write a routine that reads it. I can upload a Pascal routine for your
- perusal if you need it.
- The Paradox Engine is available from Borland with functions to include in
- C and Pascal programs to read Paradox (DOS) tables. Unfortunately it is
- not public domain.
