It looks like CHKTRX00.EXP could be a CHecKbookTRanXaction00.EXPort?
It's got Friday's date (20140228) a several times with some other numbers - possibly account numbers for posting?
Plus the word DEPOSIT - for $277.81?

What about the file chkdst00.exp that also seems to be referenced in CHECKBK?

Viewed via Notepad.

I sent the file to RBTI, and just got a response that they are not codelocked files. Bummer. Well, the company said that there's a chance I could talk to the original programmer in about 6 weeks, so we're waiting til then to figure this out I guess!

If these are codelocked files, RBTI can reverse engineer them, and provide you with the source code.

Yeah, if I can't figure out this program, then I want to get more specifics about their Real World program (like version, whatever) and what steps they do in Real World, if any, to "bring in" the files -- or are they just sitting there and automatically looked at. Things like that...

I also think it's totally possible that they are running this program and it isn't doing a darn thing and is not needed! Since the date of this program is from 12 years ago it's not like it's been updated lately!

I would suggest you contact Real World Accounting or a support service and talk to them about what the data is that is imported and if there is file format layout available, CSV interface, or what ever they use as an import facility. I think then you should be able to provide the functionality through one of the many export facilities provided by RBase.
Good Luck

    A business wants to upgrade from DOS 6.5 to windows.  Very
    critical to this is what they say is an interface to bring data to
    their accounting package (Real World?).

    She told me that they get to the R> prompt and type:  RUN CHECKBK

    She says she has no idea what the program does, they just "do
it". The guy who did their system is long gone and unavailable. They sent me their programs, and this program is not a readable
    file.   If you look at it, it seems to indicate a file
    f:\rwc80\CHKTRX00.EXP .  I asked her to look and sure enough there
    is a file with that name.  Sent it to me and guess what, that
    one's not readable either.

    It seems to me like RUN CHECKBK shouldn't do a darn thing.  I have
    zipped these 2 programs together in my dropbox.  If anyone is
    bored, can you figure out if these are executable programs?

    Thanks a bunch!
