Thx. for your note. The dylib file is visible only when the app is is opened with xcode. I then clicked on the file. The Terminal window opened and I received the message set forth below.
There is a db3 file within the app. When I try to open the db3 file in xcode, nothing happens. The db3 file is visible in Finder. When I try to open it there, Finder says there is no default app with which to open it. I am able to open it with Text Wrangler where there is much gibberish but also the data. The file begins with SQ Lite format 3 and then includes setup commands to set up a table. I now understand that a db3 file is a dBase III file. Perhaps you could point me to some resources so I can learn about dBase III files and how they interact with dylib files? Thx. again.
