Have you tried ODBC access to dBase files? There are some
weirdnesses with the Paradox driver depending on which
version you're using, but ODBC should work to get to dBase files.
Yep. I can do it in Windows (XP comes with ODBC configured by
default) - but I can't find anything for OSX or
Unfortunately I don't know where to find such things. I spend a
fair part of my life sucessfully avoiding database work, and would
hate to break that record now. :)
Hopefully someone here who's worked with ODBC will be able to help out

Since you were talking about dBase and Paradox, I assumed you meant

In that case, the dBase file format is *very* well defined and

There are a lot of programs around for converting DBF files to other
formats. A Google search is quite fruitful.

Hi Sichard,
I believe both of them offer an ODBM interface, as does Rev.

A lots of people think that mySQL is free.
This is not true in a lots of cases. Read this:

OK. Found it. Serendipidy. I'm not sure
about it at all yet. It seems a rather bitsy.
I think I'll look at saving stacks containing
cards to an external file instead.
Thanks for your help people.

For very small data sets it's hard to beat the convenience of using
cards. But for anything above a few thousand records it can be cumbersome.

Hi Richard,
Depending on your indexing needs, if your data set is small
