I have encountered this file - and know this much about it's structure...
512-byte header (which contains a 'counter' of field definition records.)
768-byte field definition records - multiple instances. Apparently one for each field in the subsequent data records.
Data - in FIXED-LENGTH records (the data-record length is also in the header.)
I have examined several files from this same source - and the first few bytes of each file are different - one from another.
There is a string of HEX characters that are the same in the examples I have - but these hex characters do not represent a readable string: Š¾ŽY#dË@=qÒã¼dÐ
There are NO human-readable strings in the header.
Anyone have any ideas what kind of file I have here?
EDIT Last evening, I was able to get to the source machine - and noted that - for this one file, at least, there were three other files with the same base name - with extensions: .blb, .blk and .idx.
I do not yet have copies of these additional files ...
Does this help - anyone have any idea what kind of 'database' this goes to?
DBISAM!!
When we finally got to the ACTUAL server, we found the DB engine running - and it had clear declarations as to what kind of database was in use.
