Extract memo field data from dBase file

I have a MSDOS clipper application that uses dBase as it's database engine, some of it's fields are stored on external files (with .BIN extension), the database file seems to store some binary pointer to that file (to link db rows with in-file information), anyone knows how can i extract the information on this files?

On this capture you'll find the dBase file on the left, and the BIN file on the right.

The binary file has the following "header": JMS BIN

Thanks
