Several years ago I wrote an FB II leasing program for a client
(converted from QB). Now they want some changes but I lost the source
code due to a hard disk crash (I can't believe I can't find my backup!).
I can rewrite the source code, but need to use the existing data files
that are larger than 2 meg. Unfortunately, I do not know the format of
the data files (e.g. whether they are records or numeric arrays, if
characters then the variable size, etc.).

Does anyone know how I can read or print the existing files to
understand the data structure so the FBII rewrite can again read these
files?

Thanks in advance!
